Overview
Speech Recognition Engine is an extensive software library that allows anyone to quickly and easily interact with devices and machines by talking. It was developed by Cyberon, the worldwide leader in speech recognition, with ease of use and compatibility in mind for instant integration into new applications or existing solutions.
Speech Recognition Engine is compatible with multiple Arduino boards and with the Arduino IDE and requires no additional hardware, software or internet connectivity.
Its AI/ML engine understands commands defined through text input in 40+ languages – regardless of the speaker’s actual voice, tone or accent. This means multiple wake-up words and sequences can be quickly configured, and there is no need to retrain for different users.

Industrial-grade speech recognition
Speech Recognition Engine was developed in partnership with Cyberon, a leading embedded speech solution provider, to be part of Arduino Pro’s growing ecosystem of advanced professional solutions.
Forget the training period
Your next smart device can immediately understand every major language in the world, regardless of the speaker’s tone or accent. How? Speech Recognition Engine uses text input to define voice commands, translating them into instant results.
Infinite applications
Speech Recognition Engine is ideal for industrial and building automation applications such as hands-free control of machinery, equipment and devices of all kinds, but also for any situation where multiple people may need to interact with objects using their voice: information kiosks, vending machines and lockers, smart beds in hospitals, emergency call systems and more.
Hear, hear!
Speech Recognition Engine helps machines and devices understand multiple users without requiring specific training for individual voices. Also, it’s able to listen to the person speaking to it while filtering background noise, making it suitable for busy or crowded environments.

Makers have long asked the question “why bother with an expensive PLC when I can just use an Arduino?” The answer comes down to the priorities and needs of industrial clients. In a factory automation setting, the client will prioritize durability, reliability, and serviceability over the one-time purchase price of the device itself. But to prove that Arduino’s professional turnkey solutions are just as easy to use as their developer-focused educational counterparts, Jeremy Cook leveraged an Arduino Opta micro PLC to build a drum machine. This isn’t any old drum machine that plays sound samples or synthesized notes, but rather a robotic drum machine that makes noise by banging on stuff like a true percussion instrument. Cook could have built this with any Arduino board and a few relays, but instead chose to implement the Opta and new Opta Digital Expansion. That is robust enough for serious commercial and industrial applications, but is still simple to program with the familiar Arduino IDE. Programmers can also use conventional PLC languages if they prefer. In this case, Cook made noise with relays and solenoids. The Opta has four built-in relays and Cook’s sketch flips one of them to make a sound analogous to a hi-hat. Cook added an Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S module with its solid-state relays for the other two “drums.” One of those fires a solenoid that taps a small hand drum (the kick drum sound), while the other controls a solenoid that hits a power supply enclosure (the snare sound). Together, those three sounds can cover the basics of a drum track. Cook’s sketch is a drum sequencer program that stores each sound sequence as array, looping through them until turned off. An Opta may be overkill for a project like this one, but this does a great job of demonstrating the ease at which an Arduino user can transition to professional PLC work.
