Description

The Grove Speech Recognizer module provides a dedicated, offline solution for adding voice control to embedded projects. It processes audio commands locally using the integrated Nuvoton ISD9160 system-on-chip, which combines an ARM Cortex-M0 core with audio recording and playback capabilities. This eliminates the need for a constant cloud connection, ensuring faster response times and enhanced privacy.

The module features an omnidirectional electret microphone that captures voice commands from any direction with equal gain, improving user experience. It communicates via a standard Grove connector supporting both I2C and serial UART protocols, making it compatible with a wide range of development boards. An onboard status LED provides visual feedback: red indicates the module is listening for a command after the wake word, and blue confirms a command has been recognized.

Key Features

  • Local Voice Processing: Onboard Nuvoton ISD9160 SoC handles all recognition locally for fast, private operation without cloud dependency.
  • High-Performance Microphone: Integrated omnidirectional microphone ensures reliable voice capture from various angles and distances.
  • Flexible System Integration: Grove-standard I2C/UART interface allows for simple daisy-chaining and connection to popular MCU platforms.
  • Dual Voltage Support: Operates from a 3.3V or 5V DC supply, compatible with most development boards and logic levels.
  • Pre-Trained Command Set: Recognizes 22 distinct voice commands out-of-the-box, including 'start', 'stop', and 'play music'.
  • Audio Output Capability: Includes a JST 2.0 connector for attaching an external speaker (not included) for audio feedback.
  • Optimized Recognition Algorithm: Engineered for a high recognition rate and minimal false triggers in typical indoor environments.

Applications

  • Smart home automation for voice-controlled lighting, appliances, and security systems
  • Voice-command interfaces for educational robotics and DIY robot kits
  • Interactive toys and gadgets requiring offline, responsive voice interaction
  • Industrial human-machine interface (HMI) panels for hands-free control
  • Accessibility devices providing voice-activated control for users with mobility challenges

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the wake word for this speech recognizer, and how do I use it?

The default wake word is 'Hicell' (pronounced as a single word). After power-on, speak 'Hicell' to activate the module; the onboard LED will turn red, indicating it is listening for a command. You can then speak one of the 22 pre-defined command words. Upon successful recognition, the LED will turn blue.

What interfaces does this module support for connecting to a microcontroller?

The module uses a standard 4-pin Grove connector that supports both I2C and serial UART communication protocols. The default serial baud rate is 9600 bps. This makes it directly compatible with most Seeed Studio Studio base shields and development boards like Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi (via Grove hat), and ESP32.

Can I connect my own speaker for audio feedback? What are the requirements?

Yes, the module has a JST 2.0 connector for an external speaker. The connected speaker must have a power rating of less than 1 watt to prevent damage to the onboard audio amplifier circuit. The speaker is not included in the package.

Does this module require an internet connection or cloud service to work?

No, all voice processing and recognition happen locally on the integrated Nuvoton ISD9160 chip. This is a fully offline solution, ensuring fast response times, operational reliability in areas without internet, and enhanced data privacy for your projects.
