I want to operate an electric winch with voice commands, “UP”, “DOWN” and “STOP”. Right now I have two momentary pushbuttons to command the winch. I’ve seen circuits from Arduino to microcontrollers, but would like something simpler. Would the “Grove Speech Recognition” module do what I need?
First post, so appreciate any inputs!

@jwax Keep in mind with the Grove, the set of commands is pre-programmed and cannot be changed. If you’re OK with this, and can make do with the ~22 commands, you would connect this to a microcontroller, which in turn is connected to a motor controller (or DPDT switch) which operates the winch. We don’t offer a speech recognition module which can directly interface with an actuator.
Speech recognition module -> Microcontroller -> Motor control (or DPDT relay) -> Motor

OK, thank you! Appreciate your thoughts!

I kinda like these specs.
Runs a UART interface with minimalist commands and fairly cheap. $20

If that’s all you need, definitely get it.
Most other modules come from China and you have to do most of the work. This looks more straight-forward…

You should take a look at the Speech Recognition section:
