Your Voice Assistant

“David” is a lightweight voice-controlled assistant developed in Python, created during my first attempt to develop a voice-activated assistant.
It uses speech recognition and synthesis to interact with the user, respond to commands, search the web, play YouTube videos, tell jokes, and provide real-time information such as the current time or day.

Key Features:

  • Voice Recognition: Converts spoken input to text using Google’s speech recognition.

  • Text-to-Speech Output: Responds to the user using the pyttsx3 TTS engine.

  • Web Actions:

    • Opens websites like YouTube and Google

    • Searches the internet using pywhatkit

    • Plays YouTube videos by voice

  • Date & Time Responses

  • Wikipedia Search: Fetches a short summary from Wikipedia

  • Tells Jokes: Uses pyjokes for random tech jokes

  • Voice-triggered Exit (e.g. “goodbye”)

How to Use:

  1. Run the script:
    python voice-assistant.py

  2. Say commands like:

    • “open youtube”

    • “do a wikipedia search for Python”

    • “play No Me”

    • “what day is today”

    • “joke”

    • “goodbye”

Dependencies:
