Grove - Speech Recognizer
The Grove speech recognizer is a module designed for application in the smart home, toy, robot or anything you would like to control with voice commands.
Overview
The board includes a Nuvoton ISD9160, a microphone, 1 SPI flash, 1 grove connector, 1 speaker connector and 1 led to show to your voice activity.
Nuvoton ISD9160 is (SoC) Chipcorder that based on Cortex™-M0, it provides performance and the energy efficiency needed for voice control applications. The microphone on grove-speech recognizer is Omni-directional.
This speech recognizer can recognize 22 commands including ‘start’, ‘stop’ and ‘Play music’. Every time it recognizes a command, it will return a value and the connected loudspeaker will repeat the command. This value can be used to control other devices like a motor or music player.
Note: The wake up word is “Hicell” (Pronounce it as one word). When it recognizes the awaken word the LED turns red and you can say the command word. If it recognize the command word, the LED will turn blue.
Note: The firmware of the module was wrote by the third party vendor, it’s not open source.

… Combined with Microchip’s ECC608 crypto chip on the Uno board, the microcontroller also provides hardware-based security for connecting projects to the cloud including AWS and Google. “As we grow, partner and invest, we will fuel the vast IoT and software markets across the industry,” said Banzi. “Inspiring the Arduino community with easy to deploy solutions that enable our users to have access to larger both flash and RAM memory for more demanding IoT projects.” “Arduino aims at supporting professional developers, makers and educators during the entire lifecycle of IoT product development, from the initial learning phases to mass deployment,” noted Violante. “Being based on the popular AVR technology, but on steroids, and with an enhanced WiFi connectivity, the Uno WiFi Rev 2 is a big step forward for all users that want to leverage the vast ecosystem of shields and libraries available for the traditional Uno form factor, in connected use cases.” Those heading to Maker Faire this weekend are invited to attend Massimo Banzi’s semi-annual ‘State of Arduino’ talk, where you can learn more about our latest developments including the MKR Vidor 4000, Uno WiFi Rev2, and our Arduino Day releases. Both the MKR Vidor 4000 and Uno WiFi Rev2 will be available on the Arduino online store at the end of June.
