EasyVR - Voice Recognition Module

EasyVR is designed to add versatile, robust and cost effective speech and voice recognition capabilities to virtually any application.

This module is the successor of the popular VRbot Voice Recognition Module and builds on VRbot technology to further extend it with Sound Output, User Recorded Sounds and 3 GPIO lines controllable by the software protocol

Datasheet, Protocol and Software

The EasyVR module can be used with any host with a UART interface powered from 3.3V - 5V, such as PIC, Arduino or any other embedded board. It is ideal for applications such as home automation (voice controller light switches, locks, beds) or adding hearing to most popular robots on the market.

EasyVR Features

• Built-in Speaker Independent (SI) commands for ready to run basic controls in the following languages:
  • English (US)
  • Italian
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Japanese
• Supports up to 32 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) triggers or commands.
  SD custom commands can be spoken in ANY language
• Supports Voice Passwords: the module can be programmed to recognize the voice/command of a specific person.
   
• Easy-to-use and simple Graphical User Interface to program Voice Commands and Audio (included with the module)
• Module can be used with any host with an UART interface (powered at 3.3V - 5V)
• Simple and robust documented Serial Protocol to access and program through the host board
   
• 3 x GPIO lines (IO1, IO2, IO3) that can be controlled by new protocol commands
• PWM audio output that supports 8 ohm speakers
• Sound playback feature
• Sample code provided for numerous platforms such as Robonova, Robozak and Arduino.« and Full protocol specification available for use with any other platform. (see the Documentation section bellow)

• Two additional SI languages: Spanish and French
• 3 x GPIO lines that can be controlled by new protocol commands
• Audio output that supports 8 ohm speakers
• Firmware update capability (separate programming adaptor will be released soon)
• Sound playback feature:
  • Users can make their own custom sound tables using Sensory's Quick Synthesis 4
  • New EasyVR GUI includes the commands to process and download custom sound tables
• All Samples and Code written for VRbot are compatible with EasyVR
