 Introduction

Introduction:
The very first voice activated product was released in 1922 as Radio Rex. This toy was very simple, wherein a toy dog
would stay inside a dog house until the user exclaimed its name, “Rex” at which point it would jump out of the house.
This was all done by an electromagnet tuned to the frequency similar to the vowel found in the word Rex, and predated
modern computers by over 20 years.
In the 21st century, human interaction is being replaced by automation very quickly. One of the main reasons for this
change is performance. There’s a drastic change in technology rather than advancement. In today’s world, we train our
machines to do their tasks by themselves or to think like humans using technologies like Machine Learning, Neural
Networks, etc. Now in the current era, we can talk to our machines with the help of virtual assistants.
Virtual assistants are software programs that help you ease your day-to-day tasks, such as showing weather reports,
giving daily news, searching the internet etc. They can take commands by voice. Voice-based intelligent assistants
need an invoking word or wake word to activate the listener, followed by the command. We have so many virtual
assistants, such as Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Microsoft’s Cortana and Amazon's Alexa and this has been an
inspiration for us to do this as a project. This system is designed to be used efficiently on desktops. Voice assistants are
programs on digital devices that listen and respond to verbal commands. A user can say, “What's the weather?” and the
voice assistant will answer with the weather report for that day and location.
 Justification For Selecting The Title
Justification of Title with Project:
JARVIS (Just A Rather Very Intelligent System) is a fitting title for our voice assistant project due to several key reasons:

Inspiration from Fictional Character: The name JARVIS is inspired by the artificial intelligence system featured in the
Marvel Comics and movies.

Advanced Functionality: Our voice assistant project aims to embody the advanced capabilities and functionalities associated
with the fictional JARVIS. It will be designed to perform a wide range of tasks and commands, from simple inquiries to
complex calculations just like its namesake.

Fostering Innovation and Creativity: By adopting the title JARVIS for our voice assistant project, we aim to foster a sense
of innovation and creativity within our team. It encourages us to push the boundaries of what is possible in voice assistant
technology, striving for excellence and breakthroughs in usability, functionality, and user engagement.

In summary, the title "Voice Assistant JARVIS" not only pays homage to a beloved fictional character but also reflects the
ambitious goals and advanced capabilities of our project. It serves as a guiding principle in our endeavor to develop a cutting-
edge voice assistant that embodies intelligence, adaptability, and innovation.
 Problem Statement
Problem identified and its justification:
Problem Identification:
•Limited Accessibility: Despite the widespread use of virtual assistants on mobile devices, there is still a gap in accessibility
for desktop users. While mobile users can easily interact with their virtual assistants on the go, desktop users often lack the
same seamless experience.
•Productivity Constraints: Many professionals and individuals spend a significant portion of their day working on desktop
computers
•User Preference Shift: With the rise of remote work and increasing reliance on digital tools, there is a growing preference for
hands-free and voice-activated solutions.

Justification:
•Enhanced Efficiency: Introducing a voice-activated virtual assistant for desktops can significantly enhance efficiency and
productivity for users. By enabling hands-free interaction, users can perform tasks more quickly and seamlessly, reducing the
time spent on manual input and navigation.
•Improved Accessibility: A desktop virtual assistant would make voice-based interaction accessible to a broader range of
users, including those with mobility impairments or disabilities.
•Alignment with Trends: The project aligns with the growing trend of integrating voice technology into various aspects of
daily life.
•Competitive Advantage: Offering a robust virtual assistant solution for desktops can provide a competitive edge in the
market.
