AI Voice Assistant

An AI-powered voice assistant built using Python and Livekit that enables seamless voice-based interactions. This project aims to provide a robust platform for integrating voice recognition, text-to-speech, and task automation features.

Features

• Voice Recognition: Converts speech into text in real-time.
• Text-to-Speech (TTS): Responds to user commands with natural-sounding voice output.
• Livekit Integration: Enables low-latency, real-time communication for voice interactions using the Livekit server.
• Task Automation: Supports executing various tasks like setting reminders, fetching information, and more.
• Customizable Skills: Easily extend the assistant’s capabilities to handle new commands and functionalities.

Technologies Used

• Programming Language: Python
• Libraries:
  • SpeechRecognition (for voice input processing)
  • Pyttsx3 (for text-to-speech conversion)
  • Flask (for backend services)
• Livekit: For enabling real-time voice communication via a Livekit server.
• Additional Tools: Any other dependencies can be listed here.
