I was thinking about creating a kind of Jarvis computer (Iron man). Only then a (little) bit more minimalistic. What I want to built is more of a question/answer type of application (something like Siri) and then extend it to do more stuff like turning lights off and on/ controlling my tv among others. But before I start with this I have a couple of questions regarding the voice control on the Raspberry Pi.

  • Can the Raspberry cpu/gpu handle the workload in order to translate voice to commands
  • If not, is there some sort of web-service I can access with the Raspberry to do the work for me? Perhaps I could buy a cheap Android device and make that do the translation for me (any tutorials??), or some kind of Google web-service?
  • If yes, what is the best way to achieve this? Some Java library, or something else?
  • Can the Raspberry handle multiple wireless microphone inputs (with a powered usb hub of course)?
  • Can the Raspberry handle multiple wireless audio outputs (for answering my questions)?
  • Is there perhaps a compete (or partial) tutorial on this topic? (That would be awsome!)

Check out this project that involved speech recognition and a cheap robotic arm: http://www.aonsquared.co.uk/raspi_voice_control

The aonsquared project is actually a bit outdated. Better speech recognition performance can be found using Google's speech recognition or Siri. Someone posted something like this recently on youtube (looks like it takes whatever you say, compares it in a config file, and runs whatever command you tell it to) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQi9dWVUJow
