Give your project a voice! Without Text-to-Speech Module, Arduino TTS library makes it possible, voice synthesizer that converts a stream of digital text into retro (robot) speech. Its simple needs only external LM385 amplifier with arduino Uno, No special components or shields required. Thanks to Gabriel Petrut and Clive Webster for making this thing.
Application Ideas:
Reading Internet-based data streams (such as e-mails or Twitter feeds)
Conveying status or sensor results from robots, scientific equipment, or industrial machinery
Language learning or speech aids for educational environments
In this tutorial we are discussing on how to use arduino with Proteus simulation software. We assume that you have installed Arduino Library in your Proteus software. for installing arduino library in Proteus visit “How to add library in Proteus?” We will learn it by taking led blink example.

Hex file is needed for simulation and when you use separate programmer to program your microcontroller. In this tutorial we will see how to get hex file in Arduino IDE?
Steps to Get Hex File in Arduino IDE
These steps are applicable to all Arduino versions to get hex file.
Proteus is simulation and PCB designing software. Many times we need to simulate different circuits before we actually develop it, This tutorial shows how to add library in Proteus 7 and Proteus 8.
Following are the simple steps to add Library in Proteus
Step 1: Download Proteus library zip file example ARDUINO Proteus library
Step 2: Unzip library folder. You will see two files names as *.IDX and *.LIB in some cases third file is *.HEX.
In our example it is ARDUINO.IDX and ARDUINO.LIB
Step 3: Copy and paste these files in LIBRARY folder of Proteus
If you are using Proteus 7 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 7 Professional\LIBRARY“
If you are using Proteus 8 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: “C:\Program Files\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\Data\LIBRARY”
Step 4: Close Proteus Software and reopen it to check it. That’s all.
You can find that adding library to Proteus, Arduino, Eagle is same just copy and paste the library files at proper location.
Libraries are files written in C or C++ (.c, .cpp) which provide your sketches with extra functionality (e.g. the ability to control an LED matrix, or read an encoder, GSM, GPS, NRF24L01 etc.). Arduino software is kept flexible users can create there own library or add libraries for new devices.
Adding Library to Arduino
Step 1: Download your library zip file example Keypad.
Step 2: Unzip your library file. You will find files “Keypad.cpp”, “Keypad.h” and folder “examples” ina library name folder in our case Keypad. These three are essential parts of any library.
Note that library folder name should not start with numbers and space is not allowed in library folder name.
Step 3: Find your Arduino Installation Location. By right clicking on arduino shortcut icon. Click on Properties.
Find location of arduino installation
Step 4: You will see this screen and Click on Find Target
Find Installation Location
Step 5: Locate “libraries” folder and open it
Library Folder
Step 6: Copy and paste your library in this folder in our example it is “Keypad”
Library folder
Check that you have these files in example library “Keypad” folder
Inside keypad folder
Step 7: Close Arduino IDE and reopen it to see the added library in Examples>>Keypad

Step 8: To use library you need to add it in your code using include command. Example:
#include <Keypad.h>
