Kunnapan AI Assistant

Kunnapan AI Assistant is a Python-based voice assistant that leverages speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) to interact with users. The assistant captures audio input, processes the text, and responds with spoken output.

Features

• Speech Recognition: Captures and converts spoken words into text using the SpeechRecognition library.
• Text-to-Speech: Converts text responses into spoken words using gTTS.
• Text Cleaning: Removes unwanted special characters from the captured text.
• Google Gemini API Integration: Sends cleaned text to the Google Gemini API for generating responses (API key removed for security purposes).

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/akshay-k-a-dev/kunnapan-AI-Assistant.git
   cd kunnapan-AI-Assistant

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the assistant:

   python assistant.py

Usage

• The assistant will adjust for ambient noise and start listening for voice input.
• Speak clearly, and the assistant will recognize your words and respond.
• Press q and hit Enter at any time to quit the program.

API Integration

This project utilizes the Google Gemini API for generating content based on the user's speech input. Please note that the API key has been removed from the code for security reasons. If you wish to use the Google Gemini API, you will need to add your own API key in the send_to_api function within assistant.py.

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

Acknowledgments

• Google Gemini API: Special thanks to Google for providing the Gemini API, which enables the assistant to generate intelligent responses.
• SpeechRecognition Library: For providing the tools to capture and process speech input.
• gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech): For enabling the assistant to convert text responses into spoken words.
