RealCorebb/bbTalkie

A hands-free mini walkie-talkie powered by embedded AI, featuring automatic voice detection, keyword-triggered animations, and real-time speech-to-text display.

What it solves

It replaces bulky, button-operated walkie-talkies with a portable, hands-free device that uses embedded neural networks to automate voice interaction.

How it works

The device is built on the ESP32-S3 microcontroller. It uses the ESP-SR framework to implement an embedded neural network that automatically detects human voices and recognizes specific keywords to trigger animations. It can also convert dialogue into text bubbles displayed on the device.

Who it’s for

DIY electronics enthusiasts and makers who want to build a portable, voice-activated communication device using ESP32 hardware.

Highlights

  • Hands-free operation via automatic voice detection.
  • Keyword recognition to trigger visual animations.
  • Dialogue-to-text bubble display.
  • Complete hardware design provided, including CAD 3D models, PCB schematics, and BOM.
  • Optional Bluetooth support for Sony camera control via a dedicated code branch.
