Conceived as a way to fill a niche in the home automation market, SCREAM was designed to combine speech recognition technology and wireless communications to provide a homeowner with a low cost and easy to maintain home automation system. SCREAM is an modular embedded solution using both custom PCBs and development boards.

Sponsors

Our team would like to thank The Boeing Company for their munificence. Without their help it would have been difficult to realize our vision in creating a speech recognition home automation system.
