ESP-Eye Wakeup (AIV-535) #221

Closed mtc-20 closed 2 years ago

mtc-20 commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I have some doubt regarding the ESP-EYE board. The product page shows that this board has a mic for speech recognition. But I cannot find any of these features or voice recognition models in the master branch for ESP-EYE, only in ESP32-S3_EYE. Other websites that talk of ESP-EYE use an older branch of ESP_WHO which has examples of a voice wakeup and face recognition exmaple. I would like to understand why these examples are not available in the master branch anymore.

Is there any particular reason this was removed? I would like to buy the ESP-EYE for face recognition and speech recognition. But the fact that the latest documentation doesn't talk about any of this is a little concerning. I would like to be sure before making such an investment since this would be my first project with ESP32s.

Hi, we assume it's because of performance consideration. As Espressif has released ESP32-S3 and it SW support, we'd prefer to do AI applications on S3 related boards: S3-EYE, S3-Korvo-1, S3-Korvo-2, S3-BOX, etc. Maybe you can take a look: https://www.espressif.com/en/products/devkits

Hi, thanks for that. But it's disappointing news for me. The reason why I wanted to buy the ESP-EYE was for the size, camera and mic. I can't find any exact replacement board in that same size. The S3-EYE, S3-Korvo-2 are more bulkier and comes with a LCD sub board assembled (and more expensive).

I think I will drop my current project idea for now.

Thanks for the info
