Raspberry Pi - Voice Recording & Text-to-Speech

Raspberry Pi,

This tutorial is about the Voice Recording and Test to speech Using Raspberry Pi. But First, let's have a small introduction about Raspberry Pi.

Introduction
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B



System on Chip(SoC)
  • What is System on Chip?
                - A complex IC that integrates the major functional elements into a single chip or chipset.
  • Programmable processors
  • On-chip memory
  • Accelerating function hardware (e.g. GPU)
  • Both hardware and Software
  • Analog components
  • Benefits of SoC
                  - Reduce overall system cost
                  - Increase performance
                  - Lower power consumption
                  - Reduce size

Soc in Raspberry Pi: Broadcom BCCM2835 SoC Multimedia Processor
  • CPU
            - ARM 1176JZF-S (armv6k) 700MHz
            - RISC Architecture and low power draw
            - Not compatible with traditional PC software
  • GPU
            - Broadcom Video IV
            - Specialized graphical instruction sets
  • RAM
            - 512MB (Model B rev.2)
            - 256MB (Model A, Model B rev.1)

Step1: Checking Your Microphone

You need to first check whether your microphone record properly or not. Check microphone is listed or not by using command "lsusb". Next, we need to set the mic recording volume high by using command "alsamixer". Now, you need to check if the recording takes place properly by using command "arecord -l".

Step2: Recording Your Voice

To record your voice use command "arecord -D plughw:1,0 test.wav". Record your voice message and to terminate recording press Ctrl+Z.

Step3: Play Your Recording

To play your recording use command "aplay test.wav".

Text-to-speech

To give R-pi a voice we must first install some software called eSpeak.
Install eSpeak by using the following command:

Sudo apt-get install espeak

After installing the eSpeak r-pi is ready. Now, by the following command you can give Text-to-speech command to your r-pi.

espeak “Hello World! My name is Raspberry Pi” > /dev/null

Press enter.

Servo Motor Control using ESP8266 and Blynk App

Hey folks,  In this tutorial we will learn how to interface Servo motor with NodeMcu(ESP8266)module and operate it with the Blynk app.  Servos  are controlled by sending an electrical pulse of variable width, or pulse width modulation (PWM), through the control wire. There is a minimum pulse, a maximum pulse, and a repetition rate. A  servo motor  can usually only turn 90° in either direction for a total of 180° movement. servo Motor (Back view)  Servo Motor (front view) Blynk  is a Platform with iOS and Android  apps  to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet. It's a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets. (Blynk App) Components Required: Servo motor NodeMcu(ESP8266) Connecting wires(male to male) Breadboard    Follow the image below for circuit connection reference. (Servo Motor connecting wi...

Webcam Interfacing with Raspberry Pi

This tutorial is about the clicking photos and recording videos using "Logitech Webcam C110 with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B" Component Required: Rasberry Pi 3 Model B  Logitech Webcam C110  Adapter Charger micro USB-b Type 5v,2Amp  Connection Diagram: Step 1: Create a new folder First, we create a new folder just to store your photo and videos separately. Open the terminal. Command for creating new folder is "mkdir folder name" Step 2: Check everything is up-to-date To update your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get update ". And to upgrade your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get upgrade". Step 3: Check SSH and Camera enabled To make sure SSH and Camera enabled. Follow these two-steps. By this command, you can configure your SSH and Camera " sudo raspi-config ". Enable SSH. Enable Camera. Step 4: Check connection of Camera Make sure the camera is connected. Then run this command to make sure...
