MikroElektronika Text to Speech Click Development Board UART USB Interface MIKROE-2253

MikroElektronika MIKROE-2253 Text to Speech Click Development Board is a specialized mikroBUS add-on board designed to enable text-to-speech capabilities on embedded platforms. This development board integrates the Epson S1V30120 Speech Synthesis IC, which provides powerful voice synthesis with multi-language support including US English, Castilian Spanish, and Latin American Spanish. Using the advanced Fonix DECtalk v5 speech synthesis engine, it delivers natural and expressive speech output enhanced by a parser that provides fine control over pitch, intonation, and quality.

The board supports UART and USB interfaces and connects directly to mikroBUS sockets using an SPI serial bus interface. It runs on either a 3.3 V or 5 V power supply from the mikroBUS socket, making it versatile for various embedded system voltage requirements. The audio output sampling rate is 11.025 kHz and uses ADPCM decoding for efficient and clear audio reproduction.

Its small form factor of 57.15 mm by 25.4 mm allows seamless integration into electronic projects requiring speech synthesis, including robotics, assistive devices, IoT applications, and STEM education kits.

This board is RoHS compliant and comes with header strips pre-soldered for easy installation. It is ideal for industrial and laboratory use in electronics development, educational applications, and prototypes where human-readable speech output enhances user interaction and interface experience.

Features Epson S1V30120 Speech Synthesis IC for high-quality voice output. Supports US English, Castilian Spanish, and Latin American Spanish languages. Includes nine pre-defined voices powered by the Fonix DECtalk v5 synthesis engine.

Parser functionality ensures natural sounding speech with pitch and intonation control. Offers 11.025 kHz audio sampling rate with ADPCM decoding for clear audio reproduction. Connects via mikroBUS socket with SPI serial bus interface.

Operates at 3.3 V or 5 V power supply on mikroBUS socket. Compact dimensions of 57.15 x 25.4 mm suitable for integration on embedded systems.
