Papağan Audio Management System

01General Features

The Papağan is an intelligent audio announcement system developed to provide voice notifications and guidance to the user, and it can be managed from an external memory card.

The device can play pre-defined audio files and has been designed with a flexible structure suitable for various usage scenarios. Thanks to its compact hardware design, it is easily integrated into different systems and devices.

02Technical Specifications

The Papağan is a compact, intelligent audio module with a CANBUS communication infrastructure, capable of managing audio files from an external memory card.

Thanks to the SD card slot on the device, audio content can easily be uploaded, updated and managed through external storage. Supported audio files are played by the built-in playback system and delivered as voice notifications through the external speaker output.

The product can operate in integration with different control units over CANBUS communication. In this way, specific audio recordings can be triggered by predefined commands.

With its compact dimensions, mounting holes for secure installation and robust enclosure design, it ensures safe operation in confined spaces.

05SD Card Structure

All the audio files the system needs are stored on the SD card. Its contents are organised into a specific folder structure, and the device operates based on that structure.

SD card
├── ARABIC/     language folder
│   ├── FLOOR/  floor and door announcements
│   └── INFO/   informational and warning announcements
├── FARSI/
├── FRENCH/
├── RUSSIAN/
├── SPANISH/
├── TR/
├── 1/          active usage folder — the device reads only this one
└── PL/         music files

Language folders

Folders in the root directory such as ARABIC, FARSI, FRENCH, RUSSIAN, SPANISH and TR contain the announcement audio for different languages. Each language folder is divided into two subfolders:

Active usage folder — 1

The 1 folder on the SD card is the folder the system actively uses. While the device is running, it reads only the audio files in this folder.

Music folder — PL

The PL folder holds the music files. Music files and announcement files are kept separate, and the system operates with that distinction in mind.

General operating logic

06Changing the Announcement Language

You do not need to make a separate setting to change the language of the device — copying folders is enough.

07What PapaganApp Is

The Papağan Audio Management Application is a desktop application developed for organising and managing the audio files on the SD card.

With the application you can:

• add audio files to the library,
• delete files,
• view file information,
• convert MP3 files to WAV format,
• save converted files to different folders.

The application consists of two main screens.

08Main Screen

The main screen is the primary control panel of the application. All operations are started from this screen.

Audio library

The audio library is the section where all audio files added to the application are listed, and it is on the left side of the main screen. It represents the Lib folder inside the application directory.

• Lists all audio files in the Lib folder.
• Supports .mp3 and .wav file formats.
• Long file names are automatically shortened for display.
• Details of the selected file are shown in the right panel.
• Converted files are marked in the list.

File details

This panel is on the right side of the main screen and its information is updated instantly for the selected file. When no file is selected, the area remains empty.

Adding, deleting and editing files

09Editing Screen

This is where the conversion and renaming operations for the audio file selected on the main screen are performed.

File name editing

By default the name of the selected file is adjusted according to these rules:

• a maximum of 10 characters,
• Turkish characters converted to their English equivalents,
• spaces replaced with underscores (_).

Format selection

The selected audio file is converted to .wav format; this option is set by default.

Target folder selection

This sets where the .wav file will be saved after conversion. The converted file does not appear in the Audio Library — only the location of the converted file changes, while the files in the Lib folder remain unchanged.

Conversion process

Once the required settings are configured, pressing Save starts the conversion. When it is complete, the converted file is copied to the target folder and a check mark (✓) appears next to the file in the Audio Library.
