Hi. My name is Sebastian and i need help building a Voice recognition lock.
First i like to say that i have never don anything like this so any help is really appreciated. I have dyslexia and english is not my first language so exuse me for maybe not buliding up the sentences correctly. I have link from Arduino on youtube but it is not exactly the same but i hope it can help you understand me.
What parts do I need to buy to build a voice activated door lock with microphone ?
I did talk to Arduino webbsite but the only told me to buy, Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2
Arduino Speech Recognition Engine and therefore it is a custom project they cant not give me all the support.
I will need a breadboard and wieres and a batteri to Connect everything but i have no clue what to buy. So if someone is could help me or point me in the right direction i cant be more greatful.
Best regards Sebastian Strand and i hope everyone have a nice weekend.
You need a pretty sophisticated controller for speach recognition....
This is a pretty challenging project.
Maybe too challenging for a beginner...
Hey. Thanks for sharing your thoughts but I like to try any ways. So if you know the parts and need to buy I would be greatful for that or I hope someone else can help me. But I really appreciate you taking your time answering and hope you have a beautiful day. Best regards Sebastian
Does it need to be secure and only respond to your voice? Or can any person activate the lock?
I just bought a MEMS microphone from Amazon and you can probably get everything else there. If not Amazon, it will depend on where you live. I use Aliexpress. Mouser, DigiKey. My friends in EU use a different supplier something like Farnell? Also BangBood.
You may want to research the SEEED Studio site for an XIAO board that has AI on board that you may be able to train to only recognize your voice.
Scottcalv any voice is ok,
thanks i will have a look
No Arduino is powerful enough to perform speaker-independent voice recognition, but some can be trained to recognize a few phrases that one person speaks. You can also buy voice recognition modules that can learn a half-dozen commands, but are not particularly reliable.
An Arduino project with more advanced requirements will need an internet connection to an on-line speech recognition service.
A quick search on your favorite search engine should reveal several modules that already have basic commands programmed into them. I found one at dfRobot on Amazon that has over 100 basic commands already programmed, plus you can add a few of your own.
Is it reliable? I don't know. But it seemed cheap enough to try.
I found this and this is exactly what I like to build. Box With a Music Lock : 6 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables
But the link doesn’t not seem to work because it’s 10 years old.
That Instructable used detection of a single tone to unlock the box, which is much easier than voice recognition.
The code is posted in the article, and you can use the search phrase "arduino tone detection" to learn more. The Goertzel tone detection algorithm is popular.
Many Arduino projects featuring lock boxes can be found on line.
Thanks so much for everything and the patience. Hope you have a great day !
