Oracle69digitalmarketing/Oracle69-SRI-Audio-Device

A proof-of-concept for a <$35 offline audio device that delivers farming instructions in local dialects. Supports the Oracle69 D-Prize proposal for distributing proven agricultural practices in Nigeria. # Oracle69 SRI Audio Device **A proof-of-concept for a low-cost, offline audio device to deliver System of Rice Intensification (SRI) instructions to smallholder farmers in Nigeria.** This repository contains the design, firmware, and documentation for a purpose-built audio player. Its sole function is to store and play pre-recorded agricultural guidance in local dialects, designed to overcome connectivity and literacy barriers for farmers in Ondo and Ekiti States. > **This prototype directly supports the D-Prize Concept Note for the venture "Oracle69."** --- ## 🎯 Core Principle: Simplicity & Cost-Effectiveness This device is intentionally a "dumb" audio player—not a smartphone or AI chatbot. This design minimizes cost (<$35), maximizes battery life, simplifies use for all literacy levels, and ensures perfect reliability offline. | Aspect | Why It's a Better Fit for This Pilot | | :--- | :--- | | **Cost** | **Very Low (<$35).** No expensive smartphones, data plans, or server costs. | | **Usability** | **Press button, listen.** Requires no literacy or digital skills. | | **Reliability** | **Fully offline, long battery.** Works anywhere, independent of cellular signal. | | **Scalability** | **Easy to clone and distribute.** Simple hardware is quick to assemble and repair locally. | | **Focus** | **Distribution of proven knowledge.** Technology is an enabler, not the product. | --- ## 📁 Repository Structure ``` oracle69-sri-audio-device/ ├──README.md # This file ├──firmware/ │├── audio_player.py # Main Python script for playback │└── requirements.txt # Python dependencies ├──audio_content/ │├── sri_step_1_ile_iseto.mp3 # Example: Land Prep (Yoruba) │└── ... # All SRI steps in local dialects ├──docs/ │├── 01_BILL_OF_MATERIALS.md # Detailed cost and component list │├── 02_ASSEMBLY_GUIDE.md # Step-by-step hardware setup │└── 03_USER_FLOW.md # How a farmer interacts with the …
