It depends on the type of microphone. If you find a USB microphone that works with the Pi, I think this one will work Mini USB Microphone | Adafruit ADA3367 | Core Electronics Australia but you’d need a micro usb OTG adapter for the zero’s micro usb port.

You’re a legend Doug, thank you.
That’s exactly the mic I’ve included in my purchase. I think the kit came with an adapter so that should get me by 
hopefully.
I am looking to remotely control a robot arm with my Pi Zero 2W. I was trying to do it via voice control, but I think that is a step beyond my abilities. I’ve seen some instructions to use an app on my phone, but I need to be able to take this robot arm anywhere and pull out my phone and have it work. Preferably not then connecting to a different base router etc. Just through the phone
I’m open to infrared or blue tooth options as well. Just anything that will let me take the arm anywhere and remotely control it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks peeps,
Nathan
Hi Nathan
I think that to use a phone without any 3rd party route (WiFi etc) you would be restricted to bluetooth and its range restrictions.
Don’t know anything much about Pi Zero 2W. Does it do bluetooth??. The “W” I think would indicate “Wireless” but that could be anything.

Thanks Bob. I’d be happy with bluetooth if it works on the unit. I will look into it some more.
Cheers for the advice
I think the bluedot app will do exactly what I need. Does anyone on here have any experience using it? Also can I use the bluedot app on an apple?
