Build a voice command file launcher

Here’s a simple Python-based Voice Command File Launcher using speech_recognition and os modules. This script allows you to open specific files or apps using voice commands.

Features:

• Recognizes your voice input via microphone

• Matches keywords with a predefined dictionary of file paths

• Launches files or applications accordingly

Prerequisites

Install required packages:

bash
CopyEdit
pip install SpeechRecognition pyaudio

If pyaudio fails to install, use:
pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

Python Script

python
CopyEdit
import speech_recognition as sr
import os
import time

# Define a dictionary with voice commands and their corresponding file paths
commands = {
    "open chrome": r"C:Program FilesGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe",
    "open word": r"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16WINWORD.EXE",
    "open excel": r"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficerootOffice16EXCEL.EXE",
    "open notepad": r"C:Windowssystem32notepad.exe",
    "open vscode": r"C:UsersYourUsernameAppDataLocalProgramsMicrosoft VS CodeCode.exe"
}

def recognize_speech():
    r = sr.Recognizer()
    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        print("Listening for command...")
        audio = r.listen(source)

    try:
        command = r.recognize_google(audio).lower()
        print(f"Recognized command: {command}")
        return command
    except sr.UnknownValueError:
        print("Could not understand audio")
        return None
    except sr.RequestError:
        print("Could not request results from Google Speech Recognition service")
        return None

def execute_command(command):
    for key in commands:
        if key in command:
            print(f"Executing: {key}")
            os.startfile(commands[key])
            return True
    print("Command not recognized.")
    return False

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Voice Command File Launcher Initialized")
    time.sleep(1)
    while True:
        cmd = recognize_speech()
        if cmd:
            if "exit" in cmd or "quit" in cmd:
                print("Exiting...")
                break
            execute_command(cmd)

Customization

• Replace file paths with the actual path on your system.

• Add more entries to the commands dictionary.

• Add a GUI or logging if needed for advanced use.

This script listens continuously until you say “exit” or “quit”.

Let me know if you want a version with a graphical interface or support for more complex commands.
