MIKROE Text To Speech Click

Text To Speech Click is a mikroBUS™ add-on board that carries an Epson S1V30120 speech synthesis IC. The IC is powered by the Fonix DECtalk® v5 speech synthesis engine that can make your robot or portable device talk in US English, Castilian Spanish or Latin American Spanish, in one of nine pre-defined voices. The DECtalk engine includes a parser that gives users fine control over the quality, pitch and intonation of the synthesized speech. The audio is reproduced at 11.025kHz sampling rate. Text To Speech Click board™ communicates with the target board microcontroller through the mikroBUS™ SPI interface (MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS) with additional functionality provided by DRDY, NRST and MUTE pins (in place of default mikroBUS™ INT, RST and AN pins) It can use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.
