Voice Assistant

A voice-controlled virtual assistant that interprets spoken commands and performs various tasks such as searching the web, retrieving information, and executing system operations. This project demonstrates the integration of speech recognition, natural language processing, and text-to-speech technologies to create an interactive human–computer interface.

Overview

The Voice Assistant listens to user voice input through a microphone, converts the speech into text, processes the command, and performs the requested action. The system then provides feedback using synthesized speech.

This project highlights practical applications of speech processing and automation, enabling hands-free interaction with a computer system.
