Pytron: A Python library for the LINKS Mark II A.I. v0.3.9

Interface with your Links AI and send commands from within your Python scripts. Send requests through Links Web Service from any computer you want! Most of Links built in functions can be accessed by name with more being added all the time. If you have any requests feel free to let me know on github under issues. You can report bugs there as well. Have fun!

Links: ( Free Windows AI Software ) http://mega-voice-command.com/

-Changelog at bottom of page under Updates-

Installation

Simple:

install LINKS ( http://mega-voice-command.com/ )

pip install pytronlinks --upgrade

Full command list

Example

Initialize main Client with default or custom parameters.

param port:	Port that links is listening on.
param key:	Links web key.
param ip:	ip of computer with links.
param path:	If you installed links in a different location.

Example:

import pytronlinks as Pytron

AI = Pytron.Client()

Make Links speak!

import pytronlinks as Pytron


TEXT = ('MVC Rocks!')

AI = Pytron.Client()
AI.talk(TEXT)

Emulate speech to Links

Will call the command as if you had spoken to links directly.

import pytronlinks as Pytron


TEXT = ('what is the weather like')

AI = Pytron.Client()
AI.emulate_speech(TEXT)
AI.emulate_speech("stop talking")

Run custom action command

Anything you can put in Links Action bar, you can put in here! See example.

import pytronlinks as Pytron


AI = Pytron.Client()

AI.custom(r'[Set("Last Subject", "pytron is the coolest")]')
AI.custom(r'[Speak("[Get("Last Subject")]")]')

Get a list of all available commands

Returns a list of all callable commands.

Coming soon 'Use with write_commands_to_file to create a file containing all the available grammars to use as a reference.'

import pytronlinks as Pytron

AI = Pytron.Client()

grammars = AI.GetGrammarList()
for commands in grammars:
    print commands

Get confirmation

Get confirmation before executing commands. Additional parameters not shown in example.

param trigger_var:	Variable in UserVariable.xml to be used for Confirmation ( Default Variable used: "Answer" )
param confirm:	Confirmation speech ( Ex: "Are you sure you want to play music?" )
param on_yes:	Speech response if answer is "yes"
param on_no:	Speech response if answer is "no"

import pytronlinks as Pytron     # Import Pytron
"""
        **Make a command in links social tab like this**
     Command: {response=test_confirm}
     Response: [Set("Answer", {{response}})]
     Profile: Main

        **And add this wordlist to the wordlist folder.**
      -test_confirm.txt-
     yes or no answers   clean response
     yes; yes please; affirmative; do it; go ahead; okay; sure; yup   yes
     no; dont; stop; no i didnt; nope; no thank you; no thanks  no

"""


AI = Pytron.Client()
query = AI.listen('Pytron')  # Stars listening for input from Links

if query == 'quit':
    break

if query == "Play music":
    # Get confirmation returns True or False so it can be checked directly, like this..
    if AI.GetConfirmation(confirm="Do you want to play music?"):
        AI.emulate_speech('play music')

Put script into listen mode

Listens for user input by watching a variable in the UserVariables.xml file ( 'Pytron' by default ). The variable is set using the [Set("variable", "value")] command in links. See Example

import pytronlinks
"""
        **Make a command in links social tab like this**
     Command: Links {speech=test_dictation}
     Response: [Set("Pytron", {speech})]
     Profile: Main

     And use the dictation in Pytron with the script below.. ( Ctrl-c to quit )
"""

import pytronlinks as Pytron

AI = Pytron.Client()

def main():
    dictation = AI.listen()
    if dictation == 'quit':
        break
    else:
        AI.talk(dictation)

try:
    while True:
        main()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

Loquendo Function

Sends a 'Loquendo by Nuance' speech command ( requires Nuance Loquendo voices )

param text:	Text to be spoken ( with all the syntax they use, better make it raw, ie: r'text' )
param volume:	Volume 0 - 100
param rate:	Rate of speech 0 - 100 ( 50 is default )
param ai_name:	Name of tts Voice ( case sensitive )

Example:

import pytronlinks as Pytron

ai.LoqSpeak("I am an example","100","50","Simon")]
