Description
The VC-02 Voice Control Module is an offline speech recognition sensor designed to control electronic devices using predefined voice commands. It does not require internet or AI processing, making it ideal for embedded systems, automation projects, and low-power applications.
It can recognize a limited set of trained voice commands and trigger digital outputs or communicate with a microcontroller (such as Arduino) via UART.
The VC-02 is an offline speech-recognition module developed by Shenzhen Ai-Thinker, built around the US516P6 voice chip from Unisound. It’s tailored for low-cost, standalone voice control in smart devices like lamps, toys, appliances, and smart home systems.
