Build a voice-controlled virtual assistant using speech-to-text
engines, text-to-speech engines, and conversation modules. This
book shows you how to program the virtual assistant to gather data
from the internet (weather data, data from Wikipedia, data mining);
play music; and take notes. Each chapter covers building a mini
project/module to make the virtual assistant better. You'll develop
the software on Linux or OS X before transferring it to your
Raspberry Pi, ready for deploying in your own home-automation or
Internet of Things applications. Building a Virtual Assistant for
Raspberry Pi walks you through various STTs and TTSs and the
implementation of these components with the help of Python. After
that you will start implementing logic for handling user queries
and commands, so that the user can have conversations with Melissa.
You will then work to improve logic handling to detect what the
user wants Melissa to do. You will also work on building some
useful applications/modules for Melissa, which will allow you to
gain interesting information from Melissa such as the time, weather
information, and data from Wikipedia. You will develop a music
playing application as well as a note taking application for
Melissa, laying the foundations for how Melissa can be further
extended. Finally, you will learn how to deploy this software to
your Raspberry Pi and how you can further scale Melissa to make her
more intelligent, interactive and how you can use her in other
projects such as home automation as well. What You'll Learn Design
the workflow and discover the concepts of building a voice
controlled assistant Develop modules for having conversations with
the assistant Enable the assistant to retrieve information from the
internet Build utilities like a music player and a note taking
application for the virtual assistant Integrate this software with
a Raspberry Pi Who This Book Is For Anyone who has built a home
automation project with Raspberry Pi and now want to enhance it by
making it voice-controlled. The book would also interest students
from computer science or related disciplines.
