MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531100247 A) filed by Guru Nanak Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Oct. 16, 2025, for 'intelligent natural language processing and voice recognition usb microphone key for desktop computing systems.'

Inventor(s) include Nilanjana Adhikari; Dipankar Basu; Ananjan Maiti; Suchismita Maiti; and Sujata Kundu.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure discloses an Intelligent Natural-Language Processing USB Microphone Key for desktop computing systems, integrating beam-forming microphones, an onboard neural processor, and embedded language understanding models. The device captures spoken input, performs real-time speech-to-text and intent parsing entirely on-device, and issues corresponding keystrokes or control signals to the host computer via standard USB interfaces. The system operates without internet dependency, preserves user privacy, functions across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and maintains high accuracy and low latency even in noisy environments. This novel plug-and-play architecture transforms traditional microphones into fully autonomous voice-activated input interfaces for desktop platforms."
