Voice Automation

Inspiration

The amount of cases and deaths from this deadly virus is raising exponentially, I wanted to control the spreading of disease to remove the burden on doctors and researchers until they find a vaccine.

What it does

This program allows user to control their computer/machines using voice commands, it could be implemented on various public computers, cyber cafe, vending machines, ticket counters and other similar devices.

How I built it

I used Python 3.8.2 and MySQL 8.0 to create the program.

Challenges I ran into

Main challenge was to integrate voice commands to the commands that computer understand, I did a lot of research until I develop the code. But soon came another problem, the program was converting voice of integers to spellings as text so I had to make a text to integer program. Another major problem was providing confirmation as speech without using much storage, which I accomplished using a less known python library. These were some of the major challenges I ran into while making this project.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

User can control the system through his/her voice, the program will recommend the commands to user on basis of his preferences. Users having problem in their input devices like keyboard, mouse and are not able to get the new ones due to COVID lockdown/quarantine can use this program as aid. Major boon for handicapped people. And one of the major accomplishment is that it uses less storage.
