The Little Buddy Talker already surpassed the pledged goal of $643 in its initial days.

Ever wondered if you’d able to add voice support for your Arduino projects? How cool would that be? Well, there is a new Kickstarter campaign in town that will just do the thing. Dubbed The Little Buddy Talker, this teeny Arduino shield will let you add the voice of Lucy — a female voice with an English accent — to your smart electronic designs.

The creator of The Little Buddy Talker, Patrick Thomas Mitchell, says:

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]About a year ago, I designed an Arduino shield that allowed for you to add voice to your electronic designs. I’ve since been able to minimize that design into a much less inexpensive, and smaller unit. This unit has a 254-word library that consists of colors, commands, months/days/time, numbers, directions, feelings, units of measurement, security words, math lingo, and general words; all of which are spoken by “Lucy” – A lovely female voice with an English accent! Meet “The Little Buddy Talker” Arduino compatible speech kit set! It is Production Ready, and eager to land in your hands![/perfectpullquote]

Visit The Little Buddy Talker’s Kickstarter page to know more about the project and show your support. Speaking of support, a pledge of CA $13 or more will fetch you a complete DIY kit version of this Arduino shield. The product will start shipping from February.
