Building a Voice-Enabled ChatGPT Terminal with ESP32 and Google TTS

efy tested

This project takes the ChatGPT terminal introduced in the November 2023 issue to the next level where it now speaks like a VoiceGPT.

In this new design, the function of speaking out the questions and answers has been added by incorporating an I2S sound module like the MAX98357A and a 4-ohm loudspeaker. The output power is impressive and distortion-free; it must be heard to be believed.

Two variations are shown here. Fig. 1 displays the author’s prototype, and the components required for the terminal are listed in the Bill of Materials (Table 1). Table 2 shows the pin connections between the ESP32 board (MOD1) and the 8.89cm (3.5-inch) TFT (MOD2). Table 3 shows the pin connec­tions between the PS2 keyboard and the ESP32 board.
