Rutronik presents the Adapter Board - Text To Speech, a solution that provides speech synthesis for a wide range of HMI (Human Machine Interface) applications.

At the heart of the board is Epson's Text To Speech IC. Featuring an Arduino pinout, audio output in twelve languages and easy implementation via a standard PC, the board is flexible in its use and greatly reduces time to market.

Communication between people and machines brings many advantages in various application scenarios. As a result, voice control is increasingly being used in products.

Rutronik's Adapter Board - Text To Speech offers a flexible, functional and compact solution thanks to the Arduino pinout, speech output in twelve languages and implementation via a standard PC.

Thanks to these features, the board can be used for a variety of HMI applications, for example, for vending machines, access control or medical products.

Epson hardware and software modified by Rutronik System Solutions

The main component of the board is theEpson hardware and software, adapted by the experts at Rutronik System Solutions.

Rutronik used the Arduino standard and Epson technology to develop the board.

A PSoC6 driver is available, which works perfectly in combination with the RDK2 development kit as a host.

In addition, the experts at Rutronik have developed a PSoC4 driver. This also enables the use of PSoC4 cards from Cypress.

TheS1V3G340 audio IC controlled by the host microcontroller can reproduce the previously defined language, which is located as a binary in the external NOR flash.

During the flash process, the USB-to-SPI bridge converts data from the USB protocol to a serial protocol.

Epson's IC provides a PC-based tool that allows easy creation of high-quality voice data or voice output without the need for expensive studio recordings.

This saves costs and speeds up time-to-market.

Comments

"Our Rutronik Adapter Board - Text To Speech offers developers the possibility to make their products multilingual quickly and easily by incorporating an IC. To achieve this, we use Epson hardware and software, which we have adapted accordingly as part of Rutronik System Solutions. So we create maximum flexibility in terms of applications and use in different markets around the world," says Stephan Menze, Head of Global Innovation Management.
