I need help with this code...

Hi everyone,

I've just started to work on a project using EasyVR Shield for Arduino uno Rev3 but i encountered an unexpected error in my code.

I've uploaded a code which is supposed to print in the serial monitor some strings according to my vocal commands.

Can you give me a help and explain me what does thie error means?

Hey guys,

I've started to work on a project using EasyVR and Arduino.

I've uploaded this code...

PROBLEM SOLVED! I've got both NewSoftSerial and SoftwareSerial libraries. If you encounter the same issue just detele the NewSoftSerial library and the program will be compiled
