I’m a new user to this site,and really need help with picking the right product. The project I’m working on is making a lamp that can be turned off and on with speaking the words “off” and “on”. I was looking at the Speech Recognition section, and had no idea which product is the right one for my project. Whatever help is received, is much appreciated. If you need more details, please just let me know. Thanks
Thank you for the help. I also wanted to ask, do the parts that you told me about; come with a manual on how to join them together, because as I previously stated, I don’t really know what I’m doing.
We suggest you start with the EasyVR Shield for Arduino, and use a ROMEO with a relay. You will likely need to be in close proximity of the microphone for it to work well.
The EasyVR is a shield, so there is only one way to connect it to the ROMEO. The Relay needs to be connected to one of hte digital IO pins, and oriented so that the black wire goes to GND, red goes to V and the “other color” (often white or yellow) goes to the signal pin. You don’t need any additional electronics. All user guides can be found online under the product descriptions’ “Useful Links” tabs. We suggest starting simply using the sample sketches included with the Arduino software - like making a light blink, operating a relay, using the buttons etc. Voice synthesis requires a decent understanding of code.
