Book Description
A project-based book that teaches beginning Python programmers how to build working,useful,and fun voice-controlled applications.
This fun,hands-on book will take your basic Python skills to the next level as you build voice-controlled apps to use in your daily life. Starting with a Python refresher and an introduction to speech-recognition/text-to-speech functionalities,you’ll soon ease into more advanced topics,like making your own modules and building working voice-controlled apps.
Each chapter scaffolds multiple projects that allow you to see real results from your code at a manageable pace,while end-of-chapter exercises strengthen your understanding of new concepts. You’ll design interactive games,like Connect Four and Tic-Tac-Toe,and create intelligent computer opponents that talk and take commands; you’ll make a real-time language translator,and create voice-activated financial-market apps that track the stocks or cryptocurrencies you are interested in. Finally,you’ll load all of these features into the ultimate virtual personal assistant – a conversational VPA that tells jokes,reads the news,and gives you hands-free control of your email,browser,music player,desktop files,and more.
Along the way,you’ll learn how to:
Build Python modules,implement animations,and integrate live data into an app
Use web-scraping skills for voice-controlling podcasts,videos,and web searches
Fine-tune the speech recognition to accept a variety of input
Associate regular tasks like opening files and accessing the web with speech commands
Integrate functionality from other programs into a single VPA with computational knowledge engines to answer almost any question
Packed with cross-platform code examples to download,practice activities and exercises,and explainer images,you’ll quickly become proficient in Python coding in general and speech recognition/text to speech in particular.
