Adding a Wake word to my Script

[Extra]

Hello,

I am trying to add a wake word to my voice assistant script but I don't know where to add it or how to get it working properly.

I have created a variable name called

1	AI_Name = 'baxter'

where 'baxter' will be used as the wake word.

The part I'm having trouble with is, where do I put a statement that allows the code to only listen when the wake word is said (and what statement do I use? Should it be a while or Boolean? )

I have this chunk of code here where I think the statement should go, but I don't know how/where to implement the wake word.

1 2 3 4 5 6

def listenCommand():     command=0     hear = sr.Recognizer()     with sr.Microphone() as source:         print("Listening...")         audio = hear.listen(source)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the full code:

I think you may need to restructure your code a bit. I would first separate each command into its own function to get rid of clutter in the main function. Also, it would be better to put a while loop in the main function rather than looping the main function itself. As for the problem, I would use the listen function in a while loop, and put an if statement to check if baxter has been said. If not, return to the top of the loop with continue. Otherwise, listen again, this time for the command that's being specified, if any.

So I changed the main function to a while loop, and now I'm wondering how to change the listenCommand(): function to a while loop.

Would it be like this?

Thanks.

I didn't mean replace the functions with while loops, but to put a while loop inside the functions. Also, in the while loops you have made, you are attempting to call True with the parenthesis. It should be like this while True:. The listen function is fine as it was before. The only changes needed should be in the main function. I'll give an example below of what I meant in my post before.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

def main():     commands = {         1: "weather",         2: "news",         # ...     }     while True:         num = random.randint(1, 10)  # Represents listen function         if num != 1:  # Represents a check to see if baxter was said             continue         cmd = random.randint(1, 10)  # Listen again for the command         print(commands[cmd])  # Carry out command

Sorry, I'm still confused.

Would it be like this?

Because if I say the AI_Name, pause, then say my command (Like "Who is will Smith") I get a key error and the program exits.
I'm guessing that's because it needs to match the "commands"/dictionary numbers to the actual "if statements" in my full code below??

I get that it should listen for the AI_Name and if I don't say it, then it ignores me and keeps on listening. But If I do say the wake word/AI_Name then it should run the command.
In your example, I don't understand what those random numbers/ints are used for and how they translate to the wake word and listen function or command execution.

I don't understand what those random numbers/ints are used for and how they translate to the wake word and listen function or command execution.

Sorry, I could've phrased the example better. The random numbers aren't needed in your code, it was just for that specific example to convey the concept. For you it would probably look more something like this. This is just a basic example and there are more complex things you can do to make it interpret and respond better.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

def main():     keywords = {  # List of keywords that correspond to certain commands         'weather': weather,  # A function that will carry out the weather command         'news': news,         'what is': what_is,         # ...     }     while True:         command = listenCommand()         if AI_Name not in command:  # Check for the ai name being said             continue         cmd = listenCommand()         for keyword, func in keywords.items():  # Iterate through all the keywords             if keyword in cmd:  # Check if the keyword is mentioned                 func(cmd)  # Carry out the function of the command correspond to the keyword said

A couple Questions:

1) Can this be done with an array, where it just looks for the keywords(strings)?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

def main():     keywords = [                   'who is',         'what is',         'what is a',           'calculate',         'what is',         'define',           'news',           'weather',           'time',           'matrix',           'stop',         'shutdown',         'quit'     ]         while True:         command = listenCommand()         if AI_Name not in command:             continue         cmd = listenCommand()         for keyword, func in keywords.items():  # Iterate through all the keywords             if keyword in cmd:  # Check if the keyword is mentioned                 func(cmd)  # Carry out the function of the command correspond to the keyword said         print(command[cmd])

2) If I do it like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

def main():     keywords = {           'who is': wikiSearch,         'what is': wikiSearch,         'what is a': wikiSearch,           #'calculate': calculate,         #'what is': what_is,         #'define': define,           #'news': news,           #'weather': weather,           #'time': time,           #'matrix': matrix,           #'stop': stop,         #'shutdown': shutdown,         #'quit': quit,     }         while True:         command = listenCommand()         if AI_Name not in command:             continue         cmd = listenCommand()         for keyword, func in keywords.items():  # Iterate through all the keywords             if keyword in cmd:  # Check if the keyword is mentioned                 func(cmd)  # Carry out the function of the command correspond to the keyword said         print(command[cmd])

Where I have a function:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                             #Search Wikipedia (General Info)     #------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- def wikiSearch():         if ('weather' not in command):             if ('who is' in command) or ('what is the' in command) or ('what is a' in command):                 if ('time' not in command):                     speak('Searching Wikipedia...')                     command = command.replace("who is","")                     command = command.replace("what is the","")                     command = command.replace("what is a","")                     results = wikipedia.summary(command, sentences = 2)                     #----------------------                     #Auto typing animation:                     print("Baxter: ", end="")                     for i in results:                         sys.stdout.write(i)                         sys.stdout.flush()                         time.sleep(0.05)                     print("\n")                     #----------------------                     speak(results)

I get a TypeError: wikiSearch() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

And if it did work and I were to say "What is the weather" would it jump to the weather function(which I do want), or would it just search it on wiki(which I don't want)?

Thanks for your continued support by the way. I do appreciated it, I'm just having trouble understanding.
Hopefully you can clear this up for me.

Thanks again.

I get a TypeError: wikiSearch() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

This error occurs because you didn't specify command in the function parameters.

And if it did work and I were to say "What is the weather" would it jump to the weather function(which I do want), or would it just search it on wiki(which I don't want)?

If you were to put weather on top of the keywords what is, what is the, etc. then it would work, however the way it's setup now, it will search the wiki. That's one of the downsides of this simple implementation. Making something like this more accurate can quickly become complex.

When I said "Who is Albert Einstein" it displayed the results, but then gave me another TypeError. And I also noticed that my auto type animation didn't work and I also got another error saying "sleep" is not recognized.

Well that sucks.

I guess I'll have to stick to unmuting my mic when I want to execute a command, then keep it muted until I need another command to be executed.
Would it be possible to use my phone as a Bluetooth mic? I used an app called "Microphone Live" but my Rpi recognizes it as an output device, not an input (Even through when I talk through my phone I can see the sound waves being picked up on the Rpi). Is there a way to change that? Just curious.

I'll keep playing around with the code and see if I can get a wakeword working properly. If not, it'll end up being "push to talk".

Oh, wait a sec! I have an Arduino Speech synthesizer board that I used to use as an old voice assistant (the only problem was that it couldn't access the internet. The only thing it was good for was controlling lights and motors), that had a wake word. Would it be possible to use the Arduino's wakeword on the Rpi. What I mean is when I say "Baxter" on the arduino, it will recognize that it's callsign is said and send either a (1), "True", or the string ("Baxter") to the Rpi, therefore triggering the listenCommand(). I know not everyone is familiar with Arduino, but I'm asking if this would be possible on the python/Rpi side (through serial command or something) Would that work, or would it be the same thing that we just did?

[SheeppOSU]

but then gave me another TypeError

That's caused by print(command[command]) because you're trying to index a string with a string, but an integer should be used instead.

I also got another error saying "sleep" is not recognized.

Is it properly implemented like this (I assume you mean the sleep function from the time library)? from time import sleep

Would it be possible to use the Arduino's wakeword on the Rpi.

I think what you are wanting to use here is sockets.
