Hello I'm new to the forum and relatively new to Arduino itself, but my first project I'm looking towards doing (Since I do better with long term projects), a digital life assistant like Siri but for controlling motors, googling things based on voice commands, and to give a readout of the status of motors and things of that sort, but I don't know where to start, any advice is welcome and appreciated. I know of speech libraries to use but outputing to a speaker and inputing from a microphone, I don't know what microphone to use and if I can use a USB microphone from my computer into input via USB.
If Microphone is too much trouble then I'll do a button setup like a number pad where you would input a set of numbers and it would give you a readout of the motor or trigger a motor to move a preconfigured amount

I once read a quote that said a Dark/Middle Ages adult serf knew maybe 5000 facts, and that today, the average daily newspaper contained around the same number of facts.

On a PC or smartphone.
This is something I have been working on for over 15 years. I have a fully functional software system that runs as a hands free helper here in my office lab. It is mostly for quick access display systems. (IE. Display schematic number 6 on monitor 3. Move IDE to main monitor.)
I am going to start adding in some arduino projects to this system, but in many ways, I have to start from scratch. I think the first thing you should start with is one of these:

The voice recognition part is only a tiny part of the problem, and would be much harder to do with an Arduino than with a PC. Arduinos are great for interfacing with electrical and mechanical devices. They're not at all well suited for any jobs involving a lot of data or complex algorithms. If you want your spoken commands to be dumbly mapped to predefined key sequences, then you can already do that on a PC. If you want them to be smarter, as I think you do, then you will need the resources of a PC to have any chance of achieving it, and expect to spend a few years figuring out what 'it' is.
Basically I'm trying to do this Arduino & Processing Speech To Text - Very Artificial Intelligence - YouTube
But, with controlling motors and reading out different statuses of things such as MAYBE battery life left in a power source. I know it's not easy but it also shouldn't be impossible to do. Hopefully also to be able to be powered on portably and be portable so I can take it around for say a arduino powered flashy suit or something.

Yeah simple enough to do. I stated in my last post the incorrect website to look at. I will edit it right after this post. Have a look here first.

You will want to at least get the bench testing of the LED project done first. Then add on the motors, ect in steps. Shoot me a PM and will be happy to help out with what I can.
Cheers.
