HoloEcho

Overview

HoloEcho is a thread-safe, modular orchestrator for voice, sound, and keyboard-driven interaction in Python applications. It unifies text-to-speech, speech recognition, audio signaling, and multi-modal input/output management—making it ideal for next-generation AI assistants, agent frameworks, and productivity tools.

Highlights:

• Modular design: Seamlessly integrates HoloTTS (text-to-speech), HoloSTT (speech input), and HoloWave (sound playback).
• Multi-modal input/output: Switch instantly between voice, keyboard, and ambient interaction.
• Custom command mapping: Flexible phrase recognition and user-definable command sets.
• Thread-safe singleton: Robust for multi-threaded, event-driven, and long-running applications.
• Production-ready: Centralized error handling, channel management, and extensible APIs.

Why HoloEcho?

Voice-first and multi-modal applications demand more than simple speech-to-text or TTS. HoloEcho brings together advanced voice recognition, TTS, audio feedback, and stateful input management—enabling:

• Natural switching between voice and keyboard modes.
• Real-time audio cues and contextual feedback.
• Easy addition of new commands and phrase triggers.
• Seamless orchestration of all sound and voice resources.

Key Features

• Unified Input Management: Handle active/ambient voice, keyboard input, and quick mode switches from a single class.

• Custom Command Mapping: Map any phrase to custom actions or mode changes—user commands are merged with defaults for maximum flexibility.

• Integrated Audio Feedback: Play sound cues and synthesize voice output using HoloTTS and HoloWave.

• Stateful Operation: Tracks activation, standby, pause, and mode status for robust agent-like interaction.

• Thread-Safe Singleton: Safe for concurrent access and automation workflows.

How It Works

1. Instantiate HoloEcho in your application.
2. Configure commands and phrases as needed (or use the built-in defaults).
3. Handle input and output via integrated methods (voiceInput, ambientInput, keyboardInput, synthesize, getSound).
4. Switch modes and manage agent state using built-in command recognition.

FAQ

Q: Do I need to manage TTS, speech recognition, and sound playback separately? A: No. HoloEcho wraps and orchestrates HoloTTS, HoloSTT, and HoloWave for you.

Q: Can I add or override commands and phrases? A: Yes. Pass your own command dictionary or phrases; HoloEcho will merge them with defaults.

Q: Is HoloEcho thread-safe and suitable for production? A: Yes. The singleton and locking mechanisms make it robust for advanced apps.
