Better options out there

This single board computer might appeal to beginners, but for anyone with experience, it falls short .Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice with other boards i can confidently say that this one has a limited range of applications. The software is cumbersome and the audio quality isn't great. Overall, there are better options out there for those serious about computer components..

Pros
  • User-friendly for beginners
Cons
  • Limited applications, cumbersome software, poor audio quality.

Buggy and Overpriced SBC Shield

This shield caused nothing but frustration due to its glitchy functionality... The limited documentation left me feeling helpless in troubleshooting its many problems. The only positive aspect was its compatibility with various Arduino boards. However, the high price point did not justify its LACKLUSTER performance. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable single board computer component..

Pros
  • Easy to use for voice recognition projects with Arduino.
Cons
  • Requires an additional power source, increasing overall cost and setup complexity.

Requires special non-stock programming cable

A QuickUSB adapter cable is required to use the EasyVR Commander PC software to program the card. This cable can only be ordered in Europe and is extremely overpriced. To use a less expensive cable, a Hirose DF11 series 6-pin female connector is required to interface with a connector on the VR card, which is not easy to come by. Not at all satisfied with this product!

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Available in white only
