Speech Reconition

Hi i havent built my robot yet but i am playing around with the parts and ARC. When i tried to set up voice reconition so that you say something and the robot does it for example moving a servo with voice commands. What i need help with is how to set it up. Every time i try it does not work.i need help setting it up and i needed to ask if i need a microphone to set this up

So if i want to get my speech reconition working so that my robot understands what i am saying and replies back to me i am going to need an mp3 trigger

No, you do not need a mp3 trigger when using the V4.... The V4 has a built in speaker.... Like I said you need a windows 7 or 8 PC (with a microphone).... In ARC you need to use the Speech Synthesis control (and V4 sound board control if you want to play music out through the V4 speaker)... That's it.... Later you can add more controls as you wish.... Remember the info on how to do this is in the Learn section of this site....

So i need a computer that has a built in microphone

You simply need a microphone. See if your computer has a microphone jack (it should be round) and if it does then purchase a microphone for your computer.

On PCs and Laptops the mic jack is often color coded pink. The speaker jack is often green. Tablets usually have all in one headphone/mic jack (if they provide one at all).

Another mic alternative is a Bluetooth wireless mic, like the sort used with smart phones. For that to work your PC/Laptop/Tablet would need Bluetooth interface built in one added via a Bluetooth USB dongle.

Does that help clarify what you need? Or are you still confused?

@Mohamed.r.... Or you can by a $10 microphone and plug it into your computer....

I will see more on the 10$ microphone because my dads computer is 8 years old and does not have a microphine and my computer is a mac booc pro without windows

You could use a bluetooth headset or microphone. I am using a bluetooth headset for my robot and it works well. With a computer of that age, you would probably need to use a bluetooth dongle which plugs into a usb port. Many of these headsets and microphones come with a dongle.
