Voice-Assistant

Voice-Assistant is a C# program that utilizes Microsoft's Speech Platform to provide voice recognition and text-to-speech capabilities. This software is designed to enable a seamless way of communicating with a computer using voice commands, allowing users to interact with their computer naturally. Voice-Assistant is highly customizable and supports multiple languages through user-packaged language models (UPLMs), making it a versatile solution for users with different needs.

Technologies

• C# programming language
• Microsoft's Speech Platform
• .NET Framework

Features

• Executes any task that can be run through the terminal, including opening applications, playing music, executing system commands, and more.
• Provides text-to-speech capabilities for user feedback, enabling users to receive audible confirmation when a task has been completed successfully.
• Supports multiple languages through user-packaged language models (UPLMs), making it accessible to users worldwide.
• Supports voice recognition for different users, enabling multiple users to interact with their computer using their voice.

Prerequisites

Before using Voice-Assistant, make sure you have the following:

• Microsoft Speech Platform Runtime (x86) and Microsoft Speech Platform SDK (x86) installed on your computer. You can download these components from the Microsoft website.
• A microphone available and properly configured to use the voice recognition features.
• An internet connection to download the necessary UPLMs for your desired language.
• A complete language package for your desired language installed on your computer. Note that not all languages have complete language packages available. If a complete language package is not available, Voice-Assistant may not be able to recognize certain words or phrases in that language.

How it works

Voice-Assistant uses text-to-speech to receive voice inputs and execute commands. The software reads the voice entry and compares it to the commands written on a TextFiles/DefaultCommands.txt file. If the voice entry matches an action case, the software responds with the programmed response.

Usage

To use the software, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the VoiceAssistant.sln file in Visual Studio.
3. Build the solution to compile the executable.
4. Run the compiled executable on your computer.
