Dave breadboards a 1988 vintage Tandy / Radio Shack VCP200 speaker independent voice recognition chip from Voice Control Products Inc.
Will it work after 27 years?
Will it recognise his Australian accent?

Done.
I remember this chip and putting it together with the application notes which without Internet being easily available to consumers was all I had. Good times. I remember it was a bit finicky and understood certain words better than others. Had no idea it was a microcontroller in disguise!
I was always intrigued by this when I saw it in the Radio Shack stores back in the day, but I just never bought one. I am so glad you took the time to go thru this and make a video on it! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Dave, I ordered Brymen BM235 from you , I would love if you can include some DaveCad with it as a gift. Thank you.
I like his enthusiastic way of explaining Electronics
It's a fuke ๐
OMG YOUNG SAGAN IS SO DARN CUTE hahaha
Shut the hell up and let segan do the talking!
It would work much better without the accent. ๐
30 bytes of RAM? Wow
can we do this project without the IC , and how?
and what vr circuit doesn't benefit from a generous smattering of red LEDs?
he speaks like rappin some times
hmmm I really wonder what people are disliking this video ?!
Haha, you don't have to worry about this sending your data to the NSA
Sagan seems to be learning a lot. I think he's definitely on a great path. ๐
Voice recognition software has not improved much since the 1980's. Still gets many sentences wrong..
Dave, are you sure that this is "phoneme based"? I have seen some other documentaries on this part, and if I recall correctly, it just did some basic detection of overall amplitude shape of a word's syllable profile, or something like that, and was not even remotely sophisticated enough the 'reverse engineer' a spoken work into its phonemes. Maybe you were thinking about contemporary voice SYNTHESIZERS that used the phoneme approach (like the Votrax SC-01)….?
It must to be a complimentary pic with speacing function
it seems more logical to put "yes" with "on" … and "no" with "off" isn't it?
I think the spectrum analyzer would be cooler than a 'scope in this case!
Look at the little chip, all alone in package. You feel for the little chip? You say no too many times to the little chip and make it sad? The chip has no feelings fool! It is a chip! Put it with some of its chip friends … little chip will crush you!
And now we use servers and cloud computing along with neural networks and AI,
And you call that an upgrade?
Daniel B. Cooper….
Wait a second…
D.B. Cooper…
Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hey man,
Great video, i have a question considering the band pass filter. Why two two
stages?
Thank you
Imagine some critical application where this thing has been built in.
"Off, off. Off. OFF, damnit you! OFF!"
try just the first syllable of each command and see if accuracy changes?
