Has anyone worked with voice recognition and such. To have the robot talk to you and also understand you? If so, what boards work well with a Legible voice that you could actually understand what it was saying to you? I was thinking even Mp3 or wav programmed to play at a certain environment.
well, lets put it this way - the voice recognition on my PC is blow, it barely understands me, even with "fine tuning" and a very nice microphone... and even still, the system is very complicated... i doubt something as complicated could be achieved with the arduino, and something on a simpler scale - well, perhaps, but I doubt it would go far...
I can't remember where, but I've seen a voice recognition module, which detects a couple of words.
Don't invent the wheel unless you have too, use the Ardunio for tasks it's good at, control.
