Samples and bindings for the Google Assistant API

Project description

This repository contains a Python sample for the Google Assistant API.

See Getting Started with the Raspberry Pi 3 for instructions on how to run the sample on supported hardware.

Prerequisites

  • Python (3.x prefered)

  • Google API Console Project w/ Google Assistant API enabled.

  • OAuth client ID credentials with application type Other.

  • Use a new virtualenv (recommended):

    # python3 (recommended)
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-venv
    python3 -m venv env
    env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
    source env/bin/activate
    
    # python2
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install python-dev python-virtualenv
    virtualenv env --no-site-packages
    env/bin/python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
    source env/bin/activate

Setup

  • Install the sample dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
  • Install the latest Google Assistant SDK and samples package from PyPI:

    python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-sdk[samples]
    • Or if working from this repository’s sources, run:

      python -m pip install --upgrade -e ".[samples]"
  • Authorize access to the Google Assistant API:

    python -m googlesamples.assistant.auth_helpers --client-secrets client_secret_XXXX.json
    Please go to this URL: ...
    Enter the authorization code:
  • Verify audio setup:

    # Record a 5 sec sample and play it back
    python -m googlesamples.assistant.audio_helpers

Run the Sample

  • Record a voice query and the program should play back the Google Assistant’s answer:

    python -m googlesamples.assistant
  • Record and send pre-recorded audio to the Assistant:

    python -m googlesamples.assistant -i in.wav
  • Save Assistant response to a file:

    python -m googlesamples.assistant -o out.wav

Troubleshooting

  • Verify ALSA setup:

    # Play a test sound
    speaker-test -t wav
    
    # Record and play back some audio using ALSA command-line tools
    arecord --format=S16_LE --duration=5 --rate=16k --file-type=raw out.raw
    aplay --format=S16_LE --rate=16k --file-type=raw out.raw
  • Run the sample with verbose logging enabled:

    python -m googlesamples.assistant --verbose
