I have been wanting to start a project for some time ,but i do not know where to start. The project is a arduino based smart tv remote that is controlled by your voice, it should be able to: change channels, change sound, change input, display information from the internet and play certain dvd i have burned onto a external hard~~-~~drive. it would need to transmit something that douse all of these things (more or less). it will need to test for certain commands.
can anybody suggest a way of doing this , i know the fundamentals of starting this project but i would like to hear from you. any suggests on components could make or how i could code it. i know more or less how to the voice activation side of it but i am struggling with the transmitting the right things to make my TV do these things.
if it helps i have a LG 3D TV and a LV 3D BLUE-RAY DVD PLAYERalso a macbook air.
My view is that voice recognition on an Arduino is next to impossible. If you get a shield with another processor on it then the results range from poor to crap.
Even an iPad relaying data back to a massive server with massive processor and data base do not work terribly well.
The final clincher is that while you might think it is cool talking to a computer the novelty soon wares off and you feel like an absolute idiot talking into a machine, when a discrete push of a button is a lot less fuss and always right.
Then use IR. Record the codes from the TV's remote control and re-send them according to the voice control, which you said in your opening post that you more or less know how to do:-

Can you share how you plan to do the voice activation, or is it a secret?
I think this guy just wants someone to give him the code and a build list with instructions.
He does not seem to want to help himself.
Googling "voice recognition arduino" was pretty easy and shows some nice shields that work.
As far as the code for the IR stuff, he has not even bothered yet...or has not actually tried.
There is no evidence of him actually trying to do something for himself.
