Introduction

The Voice Assistance project aims to create a smart assistant that can help users with daily tasks through voice commands. The assistant leverages various APIs and Python libraries to understand and execute user commands.

Features

• Voice Recognition: Recognizes and processes voice commands.
• Speech Synthesis: Responds to queries with a synthesized voice.
• Web Search: Fetches information from the web.
• Weather Information: Provides weather updates.
• Schedule Management: Manages your schedule and reminders.
• Personalized Responses: Learns from user interactions to provide personalized responses.

Technologies Used

• Python: Main programming language
• SpeechRecognition: Library for voice recognition
• Pyttsx3: Text-to-speech conversion library
• APIs: Various APIs for fetching information (e.g., OpenWeatherMap API for weather)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed
• Required Python libraries installed (see Installation section)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/voice-assistant.git
   cd voice-assistant

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate   # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set up your API keys (e.g., for weather information). Create a .env file in the root directory and add your API keys:

   OPENWEATHER_API_KEY=your_openweather_api_key

Usage

1. Run the main Python script to start the voice assistant:

   python main.py

2. Speak your commands into the microphone. For example, you can ask:

   • "What's the weather like today?"
   • "Set a reminder for my meeting at 10 AM."
   • "Search the web for Python tutorials."

3. The voice assistant will respond to your commands accordingly.
