Voice Controlled Car - PREVIEW VERSION

Ad: Thanks for Deepgram for sponsoring this video. Try Deepgram for free and get $150 of credit: https://dpgr.am/JamesBruton Deepgram has a speech recognition API that lets developers get fast and accurate transcripts for both pre-recorded and live audio. Deepgram has a whole set of SDKs to make it even easier to get started in your language of choice. Features include profanity filtering, redaction, and individual speaker detection to make your transcripts as useful as possible. Deepgram can be run locally or using the Deepgram cloud service. I’m going to be using the cloud service with this Raspberry Pi computer to control some hardware. But first I need to build something!

Reminds me of listening to rally drivers. ‘Left 3, Right turn 2, etc’ I’d probably teach it ‘whoa!’ ‘Aaaah’ and ‘noooo!’ mean ‘stop!’ 😂

So cool! Did you fall a lot or just twice? Maybe you need a crash test dummy. 😊 Your speech recognition software seems to work well. I have tried many speech recognition programs. I am using MS Bing (cloud) currently. It works nearly as well as Alexa. I have yet to find a local speech recognition program that works well. I am guessing that you have limited your project to understanding about 6 or so words. Or are you you using an open dictionary? I will have to try the one that you are using. The problem is that I need an open dictionary (tens of thousands of words) for my projects. Thanks.

I considered something like a cord attached to me, but I didn't think that would actually happen reaslistically.

I like the fact that you go straight into faster, faster, faster and not gradually work up, nice work using the cloud voice conversion. It's like driving a canal boat with its response. Would you be looking at NVidia gesture control? Could have it stop if it sees you panic ;-)

It was not too bad - phone tethering didn't really help me. Yes you can add weightings to specific keywords, but it'll still recognise everything quite well - that is all dealt with by the Deepgram cloud. There's a locally installed version available also - but I think that's by request and I'm not sure what pricing is like.
