Voice Assistant for Linux

Say hi to VAL (Voice Assistant for Linux)!

Description

A virtual assistant for Linux for controlling the operating system graphical user interface by using voice commands.

• Project task list status

  • Human voice recognition.
  • Human voice transcription.
  • Detects voice commands from a defined list and executes it.
  • Debug mode.
  • Works on i3 tiling window manager.
  • Works on Gnome desktop environment.
  • Works on KDE Plasma desktop environment.
  • Works on XFCE desktop environment.
  • Infinite while loop should be implement.

• Warning

  • The software run only at once. This should be fixed by implementing the infinity while loop. The problem here is to define a strategy to invoke only the voice command after the user say 'Val'. Furthermore the source code must be returned to wait the 'Val' to be called again.
