Power Up Your Raspberry Pi With Your Very Own Version of Alexa - Geek.com

Matrix Labs has been hard at work creating a special AI voice recognition system for the Raspberry Pi, and now it seems to have come to fruition. After running a successful crowdfunding campaign to fund the project, we've gotten a look at the "Voice," which aims to have you creating your very own personal assistant a la Alexa and company. This could very well be the start of your own creations. The Voice, which was created by Rodolfo Saccoman and Brian Sanchez, will include an "open-source voice recognition platform" made up of 3.14 inch in diameter dev board with a radial array of 7 MEMS microphones connected to a Xilinx Spartan6 FPGA & 64 Mbit SDRAM with 18 RGBW LED's & 64 GPIO pins. In other words, it's a pretty powerful little device, and you can add lights into the mix with whatever voice recognition you set up.
