Can you use Raspberry Pi for voice control?
So, in this project, we are going to build a Raspberry-Pi based Voice Controlled Home Automation System that can listen, respond, and control AC loads as per our voice commands. We have directly performed Speech Recognition on Raspberry Pi, so we can directly connect a microphone to our Pi and speak into it.
Can a Raspberry Pi work with a smart phone?
Raspberry Pi receives that incoming string from Bluetooth Module and compares with predefined string and performs respective task. In this project, to provide the voice commands to Raspberry Pi from our Smart Phone, we have used AMR Voice App in Android Phone (Android Meets Robots : Voice Recognition).
What do I need to use speech recognition on Raspberry Pi?
The Espeak library is used to convert text to speech on Raspberry Pi and the Speech Recognition library is used to perform Speech to Text with Pi. The PyAudio library is needed to get data from the USB microphone.
Can you use a microphone on a Raspberry Pi?
The video at the bottom gives you a feel for the voice control software before you install it. You cannot use normal microphones with audio jacks because the raspberry pi does not have a sound card. Hence, only use USB webcams with inbuilt mic or USB microphones.
Do you need a microphone for a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi has no built-in soundcard or audio jack, so you need a USB microphone or a webcam with built-in microphone for this project. We tested the software using a Microsoft HD-3000 webcam, but any compatible device will do.
What kind of speaker do I need for Raspberry Pi?
Here, we are going to use a 3.5 mm jack pin to connect the speaker to our raspberry pi. The speaker shown below has an AUX option, you can use any speaker that works with raspberry pi. Before we enter into the coding, we need to install certain libraries that will ease our coding.
