Create a report on Voice Assistance

1.Rationale: -
Blaze is an AI-based voice assistant designed to perform basic computer tasks through voice
commands. It integrates speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, and web automation, providing an
interactive and efficient user experience. The project helps understand Python libraries such as speech
recognition, pyttsx3, and webbrowser, enhancing the understanding of AI-driven voice control systems.

2. Course Outcome (CO) –

- Display message on screen using Python script on IDE.
- Develop function for given problem
- Handle exceptions

3. Literature Review: -

Voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant have revolutionized human-computer
interaction. Studies show that voice-based systems improve accessibility, productivity, and user
engagement. Python is widely used for building AI projects due to its extensive library support.
Implementing Blaze using Python helps explore AI principles, enhances coding skills, and provides
practical exposure to speech recognition and automation.

 Introduction

Blaze is a voice-activated AI assistant that listens to user commands, recognizes them using Google's
speech recognition, and responds with appropriate actions or information. It can open websites, play
music, provide time updates, create folders, and more — making tasks faster and hands-free.

 Working of Blaze:
Input Parameters:

 User speaks a command via microphone.

Process:
 Blaze uses speech recognition to convert audio into text.
 It compares the command to predefined tasks.
 Executes the corresponding action (e.g., open YouTube, play music, tell time). Output:
 Blaze responds with a voice output, confirming the action.
 Performs the requested task.

Features:
 Greets user according to time (morning, afternoon, evening).
 Executes voice-based commands.
 Provides Wikipedia summaries.
 Opens websites like YouTube and Google.
 Plays music from a local directory.
 Tells the current time.
 Opens VS Code or other software.
 Creates folders by voice command.
 Introduces itself and its creator.

Packages and Libraries Used:

 speech_recognition: Converts spoken audio into text.
 pyttsx3: Provides text-to-speech conversion for voice output.
 webbrowser: Automates web page opening through commands.

 datetime: Fetches the current time and date.

 os: Executes system-level tasks like opening applications and files.
 wikipedia: Fetches summaries from Wikipedia for quick information
 Code
import datetime
import os
import webbrowser
import speech_recognition as sr
import pyttsx3
import wikipedia

engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id)
engine.setProperty('rate', 170)

def speak(audio):
engine.say(audio)
engine.runAndWait()

def wishMe():
hour = int(datetime.datetime.now().hour)
if hour >= 0 and hour < 12:
speak("Good Morning!")
elif hour >= 12 and hour < 18:
speak("Good Afternoon!")
else:
speak("Good Evening!")
speak("I am Blaze Sir, Please tell me how may I help you.")

elif 'are you' in query:
speak("I am an AI voice assistant. My name is Blaze")
elif 'bye' in query:
speak("Goodbye Sir, feel free to ask anything.")
