Following a successful crowdfunding effort on Indiegogo last year, Matrix Voice is now available. It has been described as 'Alexa for Raspberry-Pi', it is a development board with built-in microphones to bring custom voice recognition to any project.
Matrix Voice was built with a mission to give every developer
around the world a complete, affordable, and user-friendly tool for simple to
complex Internet of Things (IoT) voice app creation.
To simplify hardware application development, Matrix
Voice includes the Matrix OS, which allows developers to build hardware applications in just
a few lines of code using JavaScript.
The Matrix Voice development board
features 7 MEMS microphones connected to a Xilinx Spartan6 FPGA (field-programmable gate
array) and 64MB of SDRAM. It also has 64 GPIO expansion pins (including
40 for connection to a Raspberry Pi) and 18 Everloop LEDs.
The
Matrix Voice has already been fully funded on Indiegogo, and is available now.
