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.

Getting Started with Arduino

What is Arduino? Arduino is basically an open source electronics platform which is having easy to use hardware and software implementation. It’s a micro-controller interfaced with other vital components like programmer ICs, voltage regulator etc. With the help of this, we can interface various input (sensors) and output (LED's) components. Why Arduino? Arduino is not just a micro-controller it is also interfaced with several other components which make the job of the user very simple. Arduino Uno Pin-Out How Arduino works? An input of 5v is given to the board using a USB cable (not necessary) through a laptop or any other convenient power source. Microcontrollers are usually programmed through a programmer unless we have a firmware in our microcontroller that allows installing new firmware without any external programmer. This is bootloader. All the controllers present in UNO are from ATMEL Semiconductor (Now acquired by Microchip). We hav...
