This repository contains a simple voice assistant chatbot built using Python. The chatbot is capable of understanding user speech, processing it, and generating a spoken response. It utilizes various libraries, including SpeechRecognition, TextBlob, gTTS, and playsound, to handle speech recognition, sentiment analysis, text-to-speech conversion, and audio playback, respectively.
To run the voice assistant chatbot, follow these steps:
-
Prerequisites Make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download Python from the official website.
-
Install Required Libraries You need to install the following libraries if you haven't already:
- SpeechRecognition
- TextBlob
- gTTS

The voice assistant chatbot offers the following functionality:
- Speech recognition: Capturing audio from the microphone and converting it to text using Google's Web Speech API
- Sentiment analysis: Analyzing the sentiment of the user input using TextBlob
- Text-to-speech conversion: Converting the response text to speech using gTTS
- Diverse responses: Generating various responses based on user input, sentiment, and knowledge
