OIBSIP_Python-Programming_Project1

🎙️ Smart Python Voice Assistant – from simple commands to NLP-powered task automation and API integrations.

📖 About the Project

This project is a Voice Assistant built using Python, developed as part of the Oasis Infobyte Internship Program (OIBSIP) – Python Programming.
It introduces beginners to basic speech recognition while offering an advanced version with NLP and API integrations for real-world task automation.

✨ Features

🚀 Advanced Version

• Sends emails using voice commands.
• Sets reminders.
• Provides weather updates via APIs.
• Answers general knowledge questions.
• Controls smart devices (IoT integration).
• Allows custom commands and third-party API integrations.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python 3.x
• Libraries:
  • speech_recognition
  • pyttsx3
  • datetime
  • webbrowser
  • smtplib
  • requests (for APIs)
  • nltk / spacy (for NLP)

📝 Steps Performed

Extended Libraries — integrated smtplib, requests, nltk/spacy for NLP.

Email — added SMTP auth flow to send emails by voice.

Reminders — simple store & notify logic for time-based prompts.

Weather — fetched current weather via API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap).

General Knowledge — added knowledge lookups (e.g., Wikipedia API).

Smart Devices (placeholders) — structured functions for future IoT control.

Custom Commands — mapped voice intents to actions via rules/keywords.

Robust Errors — covered mic access, API failures, invalid inputs.

🎯 Learning Outcomes
