how to make you own voice assistant with raspberry

HOW TO MAKE A VOICE ASSISTANT SPEAKER WITH RASPBERRY 

HARDWARE:

. RASPBERRY 

. USB MICROPHONE 

. SPEAKER

.  INTERNET CONNECTION VIA WIFI

INSTALL RASPBIAN OS:

download and install the raspbian OS on you microSD card (min 16gb) from Chrome via any source. You can follow the official raspberry Pi documents for this

Connect raspberry pi with WiFi and power source. 

Update and upgrade

Open a terminal and run

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Install python and pip 

sudo apt-get install python3

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Install a virtual environment 

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Install required libraries 

Install necessary libraries such as `speech _recognition ` for voice recognition and `pyttsx3` for text to speech

pip3 install speechRecognition 

pip3 install pyttsx3

test your microphone. Adjust settings if  necessary

CODE(python) 

import speech_recognition as sr

import pyttsx3

def listen():

    recognizer = sr.Recognizer()

    with sr.Microphone() as source:

        print("Listening...")

        recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)

        audio = recognizer.listen(source, timeout=5)

    try:

        print("Recognizing...")

        query = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)

        print(f"You said: {query}")

        return query.lower()

    except sr.UnknownValueError:

        print("Sorry, I couldn't understand. Please try again.")

        return ""

    except sr.RequestError as e:

        print(f"Error connecting to Google API: {e}")

        return ""

def speak(text):

    engine = pyttsx3.init()

    engine.say(text)

    engine.runAndWait()

if __name__ == "__main__":

    speak("Hello! I am your voice assistant. How can I help you today?")

    while True:

        command = listen()

        if "stop" in command:

            speak("Goodbye!")

            break

        if command:

            # Add your custom logic based on the recognized command.

            # For example, you can add if statements to handle different commands.

            speak(f"You said: {command}")

This is a basic script that listens for your voice input, recognizes the speech, and responds with a synthesized voice. Extend the if statements inside the while loop to implement specific actions based on the recognized commands.

Remember that creating a fully functional voice assistant involves more complex tasks, including natural language processing, handling various commands, and integrating with external APIs for additional functionalities.
