J.A.R.V.I.S - Just A Rather Very Intelligent System

Overview

J.A.R.V.I.S is a voice-activated assistant built using Python. It uses several libraries to handle different functionalities such as speech recognition, text-to-speech, and web browsing. The assistant can perform tasks like searching on Google, fetching news, and defining words, among others.

Features

• Voice Commands: Activate and control the assistant with your voice.
• Google Search: Perform Google searches using voice commands.
• News Updates: Fetch and read out the latest news headlines.
• Word Definitions: Get definitions of words using an online dictionary API.
• Customizable Websites: Open predefined websites with voice commands.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7 or higher
• Required libraries: transformers, torch, speech_recognition, gtts, pygame, webbrowser, requests

Setting Up

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Install the required libraries:

   pip install transformers torch speechrecognition gtts pygame requests

3. Set up the News API key: Replace your_news_api_key in the code with your actual News API key.

Usage

1. Run the jarvis.py script:

   python jarvis.py

2. Upon running, the assistant initializes and waits for voice commands. Say "Jarvis" to activate it and then provide your command.

How It Works

Speech Recognition

• The assistant uses the speech_recognition library to capture and interpret voice commands.

Text-to-Speech

• The gtts (Google Text-to-Speech) library converts text responses into speech which is played back using the pygame library.

Natural Language Processing

• The transformers library with the microsoft/DialoGPT-medium model processes and generates responses for general queries.

Web Integration

• The webbrowser module is used to open predefined websites.
• The requests module fetches news and dictionary definitions from online APIs.

Configuration

Adding Custom Websites

You can add or modify the websites the assistant can open by editing the websites dictionary in the dict.py file.

Changing the API Keys

• News API: Update the News_api_link variable with your API key.
• Dictionary API: The assistant uses a free online dictionary API that does not require an API key.

Known Issues

• The voice recognition might not work perfectly in noisy environments.
• Some commands might not be processed correctly due to speech recognition inaccuracies.
