      Hi,

      Considering adding voicecontrol capabilities to my MM by using MMM-Hotword or voiceontrol on my pi3.

      Do you think that think kind of mic would do the job?

      Will the module be able to recognize it?

      Regards

        I didn’t tried. But if it could be recognized as a recording device on RPI and could be controlled by arecord (or record), it could be usable.

          I was also checking for a mic in case and found some guys used a mic branded “Andoer”.

            That type of mic would solve a TON of problems…currently when using voice and you have music playing the mic seems to fail…but with far field mics it should be a different story… sort of like an Alexa…

              Indeed…It will also avoid the USB latence issue which I saw in several threads…

              There are tons of mic arrays (mainly called ReSpeaker). Some of them are expensive (79USD).

              I just found that one which already includes connexion board to the Pi, only have 4 mics but is cheaper. Seems to be a good comprise.

              I just need to figure out how to connect it to the Pi without using / covering the full GPIO as I already have 2 others sensors connected on it.
