Details:
This shield is very simple to attach, as it fits directly over the Arduino Uno. This kit is designed to be very easy to use, as it wants to make Voice Recognition with Arduino a simple process.

This shield will introduce a new library of programming. It will teach us how to create voice encoded passwords, which will help introduce us to software security. We can also use these on the lego robots, as it will allow us to control these robots by voice. For example if there were a project where we had to have a lego race, the user could say "LEFT" and "RIGHT" to control the direction of the lego car. Finally this can teach us how to create user friendly interfaces through the voice commands. This shield will help us learn some useful areas which programmers should know if they want to create programs for the general public.

To program this you can use a built in Arduino Library. It attaches directly over the Arduino Uno, as all of the pins line up.

This Shield would cost $46.50 for the item itself, and $2.85 for shipping (10 - 30 days). The grand total comes to $55.77.
