Project Details
How It Works
How It WorksThe system works in a sequential flow: User speaks a command → I2S microphone captures audio → ESP32 processes and sends audio to cloud STT service → Text is analyzed by AI engine → AI response text is generated → ESP32 converts text to speech using TTS API → Speaker outputs the response. The ESP32 handles all hardware interfacing while cloud services provide the AI intelligence.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of ESP32 programming, understanding of I2S audio protocol, familiarity with REST APIs and HTTP requests, access to cloud AI service accounts (Google, OpenAI, AWS, or Azure), and a stable Wi-Fi network connection.
