 Figure 3: CSS

JavaScript (JS):

JavaScript is used to implement interactive features and dynamic behavior on the front-end. The key
functions implemented with JavaScript are:

Speech-to-Text: Using the SpeechRecognition API, JavaScript listens to the user's voice
commands and converts them into text input.

Text-to-Speech: The SpeechSynthesis API is used to convert the chatbot's responses into
speech, allowing users to hear the response.

Event handling: JavaScript listens for the user's click on the "Give Command" button to trigger
speech recognition, and dynamically updates the chatbot's response area with the recognized speech
or chatbot reply.

Interaction Logic: JavaScript matches the user's input (either typed or spoken) to predefined
responses, offering contextually relevant feedback.

Speech Recognition API:

The SpeechRecognition API (part of the Web Speech API) is used to enable voice input. It
allows the chatbot to convert spoken words into text that can be processed and responded to. This is
crucial for enabling hands-free interaction with the chatbot.

Speech Synthesis API:

The SpeechSynthesis API is used for the chatbot's voice output. Once the chatbot generates a
response, this API converts the text into speech and plays it back to the user, offering a complete
voice-driven interaction.

Back-End Technologies

The back-end of this project does not include a traditional server-side component, as it is a client-
side application. However, the project relies on certain back-end technologies and libraries to
facilitate its core functionalities:

JavaScript:

Although the main application is client-side, js could be used for future back-end integration, such
as:

Handling more complex logic, such as database management or additional processing.

Providing a server-side platform if the chatbot needs to handle large datasets or store user interactions
for analysis or improvement.

APIs:

The project relies heavily on two key Web APIs (built into modern browsers) for functionality:

SpeechRecognition API: Converts speech to text on the front-end.

SpeechSynthesis API: Converts text to speech for output to the user.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation):

For handling responses from the chatbot, a simple JSON object is used to store predefined responses
and match user input. For example, the chatbot stores a dictionary of queries and answers (e.g., "What
is Python?" → "Python is a high-level programming language"). This data can easily be expanded or
modified based on user requirements.

External APIs (optional):

7|Page
In an expanded version of the chatbot, external APIs could be integrated into the backend to fetch
real-time information, such as news updates, weather, or specialized knowledge outside of the
predefined responses. This would require making HTTP requests from the front-end to the back-end
server, and processing the responses.
