I have an Arduino UNO connected to DFR0760 Speech Synthesis V2  that will not changing voices no matter

which voice I select to compile for.  No error messages just the same female voice.  I can change volume no problem. 

Below is the program that I am using taken from V2 lib I2C example.  Please advise:

It's been 1-½ years since MarkSchif contacted tech support about this issue. Has there been any progress getting us the voices that were promised when we bought this product? I'm extremely disappointed in the quality of this product's firmware.

Hello, 

The R&D department has conducted tests on this module and found that incorporating various voice lines significantly compromises its pronunciation clarity and accuracy. Therefore, they concluded that this feature would not be added to the module. 

Best Regards

I bought this module and connected to the arduino. I have tried the above code, but there's no audio output…….also the code is successfully being uploaded in the arduino without any errors.The only issue is, there's no speech or voice output from the dfr0760 module………can anyone help me out with this?

Hi!

 

It is recommended that you refer to the wiki and try the I2C communication of the module.

 

https://wiki.dfrobot.com/Gravity_Speech_Synthesis_Module_V2_SKU_DFR0760

 

1. switch to I2C

2.connection

 

VCC---5V

GND---GND

SCL(Blue vire)---SCL

SDA(GREEN wire)---SDA

 

 

3.upload the example

On 06/22/2022 I contacted Tech Support with a copy of the DFR0760 not changing voices and got the following response: 

*************************Hi, Thank you for contacting DFRobot Technical Support team. Sorry, our V2 library file has not yet added the code related to the speaker

 and tone, but we will continue to update it later.

 

***************************

 

Okay, I am very happy at this time with the quick Tech Support response and information. .
