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.

If you’re interested in embedded machine learning (TinyML) on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, you’ll have found a ton of on-board sensors — digital microphone, accelerometer, gyro, magnetometer, light, proximity, temperature, humidity and color — but realized that for vision you need to attach an external camera. In this article, we will show you how to get image data from a low-cost VGA camera module. We’ll be using the Arduino_OVD767x library to make the software side of things simpler. Hardware setup To get started, you will need: Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with headersOV7670 CMOS VGA Camera Module 16x female to female jumper wiresA microUSB cable to connect to your Arduino You can of course get a board without headers and solder instead, if that's your preference. The one downside to this setup is that (in module form) there are a lot of jumpers to connect. It’s not hard but you need to take care to connect the right cables at either end. You can use tape to secure the wires once things are done, lest one comes loose. You need to connect the wires as follows: Software setup First, install the Arduino IDE or register for Arduino Create tools. Once you install and open your environment, the camera library is available in the library manager. Install the Arduino IDE or register for Arduino CreateTools > Manage Libraries and search for the OV767 libraryPress the Install button Now, we will use the example sketch to test the cables are connected correctly: Examples > Arduino_OV767X > CameraCaptureRawBytesUncomment (remove the //) from line 48 to display a test pattern Compile and upload to your board Your Arduino is now outputting raw image binary over serial. To view this as an image we’ve included a special application to view the image output from the camera using Processing. Processing is a simple programming environment that was created by graduate students at MIT Media Lab to make
