Description
Do you make time to talk to your Arduino? Maybe you should! The EasyVR 3 Plus Shield is a voice recognition shield for Arduino boards integrating an EasyVR module. This kit includes the EasyVR 3 Plus Module, the Arduino Shield Adapter, microphone, and headers. With all of these parts, everything has been provided to you to get up and running in a short amount of time with minimal soldering!
EasyVR 3 Plus is a multi-purpose speech recognition module designed to add versatile, robust and cost effective speech recognition capabilities to almost any application. The EasyVR 3 Plus module can be used with any host with a UART interface powered at 3.3V – 5V, such as PIC and Arduino boards. Some application examples include home automation, such as voice-controlled light switches, locks, curtains or kitchen appliances, or adding “hearing” to the most popular robots on the market.
Note: Please be aware that the EasyVR 3 Plus Shield for Arduino does not come pre-assembled and will require some soldering and assembly before operation.

- Compatible with Arduino boards that have the 1.0 Shield interface (UNO R3) including, but not limited to:
- Arduino Zero
- Arduino Uno
- Arduino Mega
- Arduino Leonardo
- Arduino Due
- Supports 5V and 3.3V main boards through the IOREF pin (defaults to 5V if this pin is absent)
- Supports direct connection to the PC on main boards with a separate USB/Serial chip and a special software-driven “bridge mode” on boards with only native USB interface, for easy access and configuration with the EasyVR Commander
- Enables different modes of serial connection and also flash updates to the embedded EasyVR module (through the Mode Jumper)
- Supports remapping of serial pins used by the Shield (in SW mode)
- Provides a 3.5mm audio output jack suitable for headphones or as a line out
