Voice Assistant for Linux

Say hi to VAL (Voice Assistant for Linux)!

Description

A virtual assistant for Linux for controlling the operating system graphical user interface by using voice commands.

• Project task list status

  1. Human voice recognition.
  2. Human voice transcription.
  3. Detects voice commands from a defined list and executes it.
  4. Debug mode.
  5. Works on i3 tiling window manager.
  6. Works on Gnome desktop environment.
  7. Works on KDE Plasma desktop environment.
  8. Works on XFCE desktop environment.
  9. Infinite while loop should be implement.

• Warning

  1. The software run only at once. This should be fixed by implementing the infinity while loop. The problem here is to define a strategy to invoke only the voice command after the user say 'Val'. Furthermore the source code must be returned to wait the 'Val' to be called again.
