Benson

Benson is a voice recognition program designed for the Udoo Quad. Benson can respond to user input with pre-programmed phrases and search the web via Wolfram API for a response to an unknown query. Pre-programmed responses can utilize native Android APIs as well as accept parameters for serial communication with the onboard DUE. The result is a sarcastic, personable voice recognition system with access to net-based knowledge and Arduino compatible electronics.

Using this application

Please remember this project is an early alpha version, bugs will be plentiful.

In order to use this application on your Udoo Quad, you must do the following.

1. Upload the Arduino sketch to the onboard DUE.
2. Sign up for an app key from Wolfram Alpha and place it in the strings resource file.
3. Install GAPPS on your Udoo. See Squawk003's method here.

Creating new modules

Creating new modules for Benson is easy! Check out the module tutorial for information about creating modules.

User/developer submissions

All errors, ideas for enhancements, and pull requests are welcome as long as they concern the Udoo Quad. Since I only own the Udoo Quad, I cannot personally test any code on other Udoo boards. This is a must before any code is included in the Benson project.
