1. Introduction
The SpeakUp is a speaker dependent speech
recognition click board with standalone
capabilities. You can set it up to recognize over
200 voice commands and have the onboard
STM32F415RG MCU carry them out. It works
by matching sounds with pre-recorded
commands. Sound is received through an
onboard microphone and then processed by
a VS1053 IC with a built in stereo-audio
codec. The SpeakUp comes with
a dedicated software tool for
easy configuration. The board is
lined with 12 user programmable GPIOs
for standalone functionality. It also carries a
standard mikroBUS™host socket.

2. Applications
Wouldn't you rather issue verbal commands and have your machines comply, instead of pressing keys, pushing buttons and flipping
switches all the time? There's a wide range of applications for the SpeakUp.
Command your lights, doors and home appliances.
Create voice commanded remotes for TVs or media centers.
Reduce complexity and cost of control interfaces.
When doing something with both hands and voice command is the only option.

4. How To Use It?
Before using your click™board on your target platform, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board.
Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package.
Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into
the appropriate soldering pads. Turn the
board upward again. Make sure to align the
headers so that they are perpendicular to
the board, then solder the pins carefully.
Now you need to train your SpeakUp to
obey your commands. Plug in the board
to your PC through USB cable. Configure
it using the free software (see page 12).
Alternatively you can configure the board
directly using the on-board buttons (see
page 24).
1. Prepare it 2. Configure it
The SpeakUp now understands your
commands. Connect relays, motors or
other electronic actuators directly to
SpeakUp’s GPIO pins. Alternatively plug
the SpeakUp into any board or shield
carrying a mikroBUS™socket. You can now
control your devices with your voice.

7. How It Works?
Input:
Output:
What gives the SpeakUp its speech recognition capabilities is the firmware we developed for the on-board MCU. It’s based on the DTW
algorithm, which makes it decisive, it turns your talk into action almost instantly.
Sound is received through an on-board microphone. There’s also a 3.5mm jack for
connecting an external microphone.
After the processed sound has been forwarded to the STM32F415RG MCU that interprets the voice
command, there are two output options which can be utilized at the same time or separately:
STANDALONE MODE:
On-board MCU directly controls
external devices using 12 user
programmable GPIOs
CLICK™MODE:
Sends index of the matched voice
command to a selectable interface:
USB or UART.
Between the mic and the MCU sits a VS1053 IC with a
built in stereo audio codec to process the raw signal.
