Speech recognition realized by connecting a microphone to a Raspberry Pi is effective for some applications and is not too expensive. If you only need speech recognition, which is different from spoken dialogue, you don’t need much machine specs. There are many speech recognition software, services, and libraries, both paid and free. We often see API services, especially from Google, Amazon, and IBM. Since we wanted to conduct this project in a local environment (offline), we considered “Julius,” which is highly efficient and versatile, and “VOSK,” which can be easily handled with a Python program. Both are free and easy to start. Since it is a local environment, there is…
Voice Alerts with Raspy Communicates Equipment Abnormalities
Using TTS (Text To Speech) on the Raspberry Pi, you can make it speak from text in natural speech. Especially if it is a fixed short sentence, it can be played back in near real time even with the performance of the Raspberry Pi.
