ESP32 Speech-to-Text using AI ESP32 Speech-to-Text using Wit.ai

In this project, we’ll be learning how to build an  ESP32 Speech to Text system using an ESP32 development board. We’ll use an I2S MIC to record speech and an OLED display to display the converted text. In addition to the display, the text will also appear in the serial monitor. Since ESP32 cannot run a Speech recognition model locally due to its hardware…

The Student's Flexible Camera Memento Flex The Student's "Flexible" Camera: Memento Flex

By Gautham Chenoth Praveen

I created Memento-Flex, a flexible camera designed specifically for students.It is a programmable camera that changes its "brain" depending on what you need to do. Instead of buying a separate expensive camera for photography and a separate sensor for scientific work, this one device does both.

The Three Modes

Creative Mode: A "fun" camera for…
