Write a voice-controlled automation tool

Here’s a basic implementation of a voice-controlled automation tool using Python. This example uses the speech_recognition library to recognize voice commands and perform simple automation tasks like opening websites or applications.

python
CopyEdit
import speech_recognition as sr
import webbrowser
import os
import time

# Define command actions
def execute_command(command):
    command = command.lower()

    if "open youtube" in command:
        webbrowser.open("https://www.youtube.com")
        print("Opening YouTube...")
    elif "open google" in command:
        webbrowser.open("https://www.google.com")
        print("Opening Google...")
    elif "open notepad" in command:
        os.system("notepad.exe")
        print("Opening Notepad...")
    elif "what time is it" in command:
        print("Current time is:", time.strftime("%I:%M %p"))
    elif "exit" in command or "quit" in command:
        print("Exiting voice assistant.")
        return False
    else:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that command.")
    return True

# Initialize the recognizer
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()

def listen_command():
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        print("Listening for your command...")
        recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
        audio = recognizer.listen(source)
        try:
            command = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
            print("You said:", command)
            return command
        except sr.UnknownValueError:
            print("Sorry, I could not understand the audio.")
        except sr.RequestError:
            print("Could not request results from the speech recognition service.")
        return ""

# Main loop
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Voice-controlled automation tool started. Say 'exit' to quit.")
    running = True
    while running:
        command = listen_command()
        if command:
            running = execute_command(command)

Requirements:

Install dependencies with pip:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install SpeechRecognition pyaudio

If you encounter issues with pyaudio installation, on Windows use:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

Notes:

• This is a basic framework. You can add more sophisticated commands and NLP for natural interaction.

• It uses Google’s Web Speech API (requires internet).

• To run on macOS/Linux, replace notepad.exe with any available text editor (like gedit or open -a TextEdit).

Let me know if you want this tool integrated with smart devices, system automation frameworks, or a GUI.
