Voice-Controlled Application Launcher

This Python script allows you to open your macOS applications using voice commands. It listens for a specific activation phrase and then responds to your voice commands to open applications.

Features

  • Uses Google Web Speech API to recognize voice commands.
  • Supports text-to-speech feedback using the say command on macOS.
  • Can open any application with .app extension located in the /Applications directory .

Requirements

  • macOS
  • Python 3.x
  • speech_recognition library
  • pyaudio library
  • Internet connection (for Google's speech recognition service)

Installation

  1. Install Python 3.x if not already installed. You can download it from the official Python website.

  2. Clone the repository (or copy the script to your local machine).

  3. Navigate to the directory where the script is located.

  4. Install required Python libraries using the requirements.txt file:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Run the script: Navigate to to the directory where the script is located and run the following.

    python3 jarvis.py

  2. Speak the activation phrase ("jarvis" by default).

  3. Issue a voice command to open an application. For example, saying "open Safari" will open the Safari browser if it's installed in the /Applications directory.

  4. To exit the program, say "goodbye".

Script Breakdown

Imports

  • speech_recognition for recognizing speech.
  • os for interacting with the operating system.
  • subprocess for running system commands.
  • re for handling regular expressions.

Functions

  • say(text): Uses the say command to convert text to speech.
  • search_voice_commands(query): Searches for a matching voice command in the list of applications.
  • execute_command(query): Executes the system command corresponding to the voice command.
  • activate(phrase='jarvis'): Listens for the activation phrase to start the voice command process.

Main Loop

The script runs continuously, listening for the activation phrase. Once activated, it listens for a command and attempts to execute the corresponding system command to open an application.

Customization

  • Change the activation phrase: Modify the phrase parameter in the activate function.
  • Add more commands: Extend the voice_commands dictionary or modify the script to dynamically add commands.

Notes

  • Ensure your microphone is properly configured and accessible.
  • The say command is specific to macOS. If you're using a different operating system, you'll need to replace or modify this function.
