Utilizes the US516P6 voice chip for offline speech recognition
Supports DSP instruction set and FPU floating point operation unit
Provides a complete RTOS SDK for fast and convenient control protocol development
The Ai-Thinker NodeMCU-VC-01-KIT Offline Speech Recognition Module is a development board specifically designed for the VC-01 module. This development board incorporates a CH340C serial port to USB chip, which offers a basic debugging interface and a USB upgrade interface.
It also features a wake-up light and a cooling lamp, providing status indication and control instructions, thereby simplifying the debugging of control functions.
The VC-01 module is a cost-effective, purely offline speech recognition module developed by Shenzhen Ai-Thinker Technology Co., Ltd. The module utilizes the US516P6 voice chip, launched by Unisound, and continuously innovates and optimizes speech recognition technology algorithms. The offline recognition algorithm and chip architecture are deeply integrated to offer ultra-affordable offline speech recognition solutions.
This module can be extensively and swiftly implemented in various applications such as smart homes, a variety of smart small household appliances, boxes, toys, lamps, and other products that require voice control.
