[Brian] sent in this writeup on his voice controlled home automation system . Starting with the Microsoft SAPI, a voice recognition system, he programmed some basic home automation. In a move that makes this project decidedly more awesome, he decided to build a physical representation of his automation system. This disembodied head is "Stephanie". She responds to her name, has an articulated jaw that moves with the syllables in the words, and even ejects her "brain tray" on command. We want one.There is lots of information on his site about the circuitry involved, as well as source code and a video. You can see the video after the break.
Go there and watch the Video...
