Virtual Assistant

An intelligent AI assistant that combines voice recognition and hand gesture control to perform system automation, open applications, search the web, and control media playback hands-free.

🚀 Features

• Voice-Controlled AI Assistant: Uses SpeechRecognition and pyttsx3 for natural language interactions.
• Gesture-Based System Control: Utilizes OpenCV and MediaPipe to detect hand gestures for controlling volume, media playback, and navigation.
• Automated System Interactions: Integrates PyAutoGUI for executing commands triggered by voice and gestures.
• Wikipedia & Web Search: Fetches concise answers from Wikipedia or opens a Google search when needed.
• Application Launcher: Opens installed applications like VS Code, Word, and web apps like YouTube and WhatsApp.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python
• SpeechRecognition
• pyttsx3
• OpenCV
• MediaPipe
• PyAutoGUI
• Wikipedia API

🎯 How It Works

1️⃣ Voice Commands

• Say "Open VS Code" to launch VS Code.
• Say "Search Python tutorials" to get results on Google.
• Say "Gesture mode" to activate hand tracking.
• Say "Silent mode" to stop voice responses.
• Say "Wake up" to resume listening.

2️⃣ Hand Gestures (in Gesture Mode)

• Move Cursor: Index finger up, all others down.
• Click: Thumb up, all other fingers down.
• Volume Control: Adjusts based on distance between fingers.
• Swipe Left/Right: Moves slides/media using specific hand signs.
• Take Screenshot: Perform a specific hand gesture.
