Linux-Based Voice Assistant

• This project is a voice-controlled assistant designed for Linux systems. It enables users to perform tasks through voice commands, such as managing files, searching the web, and more. Built using Python and open-source tools, it focuses on simplicity, efficiency, and user-friendliness. Perfect for enhancing productivity on Linux!
• This project is a Python-based voice assistant designed for Linux systems. It leverages voice commands to execute system operations, fetch information, and perform other tasks seamlessly. The assistant, named Igris, provides a user-friendly interface for automation and productivity.

Features

• Voice Recognition: Captures and processes user voice commands using the speech_recognition library.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS): Converts text responses into speech using the gTTS library.
• Custom Greetings: Provides greetings based on the time of day.
• Application Management: Opens and closes Linux applications.
• System Monitoring: Checks CPU, memory, disk, and battery status.
• Google Search: Fetches top results for queries using the SerpAPI.
• Weather Updates: Displays current weather for a specified city using OpenWeatherMap API.
• File and Folder Search: Locates files and folders using Linux commands.
• Mouse and Keyboard Automation: Controls mouse and keyboard actions programmatically.
• Dynamic Commands: Allows execution of system commands and typing automation.

Installation

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/linux-voice-assistant.git
   cd linux-voice-assistant
   

2. Install Dependencies: Ensure you have Python 3.7 or higher installed. Install required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Setup APIs:

   • SerpAPI: Get an API key for Google Search integration.
   • OpenWeatherMap: Get an API key for weather updates.

4. Pre-Generate Responses: Run the script to cache common TTS responses for faster playback:

   python main.py --cache-tts
   

5. Run the Assistant:

   python main.py
   

Usage

1. Launch the assistant and speak commands like:

   • "Open Firefox"
   • "Search Linux tutorials"
   • "Check CPU usage"
   • "What's the weather in Madurai?"

2. The assistant will execute tasks and provide spoken feedback.

Configuration

• Custom Commands: Add or modify commands in the execute_command function.
• Voice Parameters: Adjust TTS speed or language in the speak function.
• Default City: Update the default city for weather in the get_weather function.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Libraries: speech_recognition, gTTS, playsound, psutil, pyautogui, pynput, requests
• Linux utilities: xdotool, locate

Troubleshooting

• Microphone Issues: Ensure your microphone is configured correctly in Linux.
• API Errors: Verify your SerpAPI and OpenWeatherMap API keys.
• Dependencies Missing: Reinstall missing packages using pip.
