RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.

The EasyVR Shield 3.0 is a voice recognition shield for Arduino boards integrating an EasyVR module. It includes all of the features of the EasyVR module in a shield form factor that simplifies connection to the Arduino main board and PC.

EasyVR 3.0 is a multi-purpose speech recognition module designed to add versatile, robust and cost effective speech and voice recognition capabilities to virtually any application. EasyVR is the third generation version of the successful VRbot module and builds on the features and functionality of its predecessor. In addition to the EasyVR 3.0 features like up to 32 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) commands and 26 built-in speaker independent (SI) commands for ready to run basic controls, the shield has an additional audio line-out/headphone jack, and access to the I/O pins of the EasyVR module.

Note: Unlike V2.0, the EasyVR Shield 3.0 does not come preassembled and will require some soldering and assebly before operation.

FEATURES

Features:

• A selection of 26 built-in Speaker Independent (SI) commands (available in US English, Italian, Japanese, German, Spanish, and French) for ready to run basic controls.
• Supports up to 32 user-defined Speaker Dependent (SD) triggers or commands (any language) as well as Voice Passwords.
• With the optional Quick T2SI Lite license you can add up to 28 Speaker Independent (SI) Vocabularies, each one with up to 12 SI different commands. Therefore an overall number of up to 336 additional SI commands!
• SonicNet to control one or more EasyVR 3.0s wirelesly with sound tokens generated by the module or other sound source.
• DTMF tone generation.
• Easy-to-use and simple Graphical User Interface to program Voice Commands to your robot.
