 ABSTRACT
Python is an emerging language since so it becomes easy to write a script for Voice
Assistant in Python. Python is a widely used, object oriented and high-level
programing language. The instructions for the assistant can be handled as per the
requirement of user. Speech recognition is the process of converting speech into text.
This is commonly used in voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, Ok Google, Cortana. In
Python there is an API called Speech Recognition which allows us to convert speech
into text. Users can interact with the assistant through voice commands. This project
aims to develop a private assistant for Computer. Personal Assistants, or
conversational interfaces, or chat bots reinvent a new way for individuals to interact
with computes. As a personal assistant, it assists the end-user with day-to-day
activities like a general human conversation, Telling the current time, searching
queries from Wikipedia, opening Microsoft word, playing songs, opening YouTube
through voice. In this present situation, advancement in technologies is such that they
can perform any job with same effectiveness as human or can say more effectively
than human. Finding solution in few seconds. The software uses a device’s
microphone to receive voice requests while the output takes place at the system’s
speaker.

PREAMBLE
Artificial Intelligence when used with machines, it shows us the capability of thinking
like humans. In this, a computer system is designed in such a way that typically requires
interaction from human. As we know Python is an emerging language so it becomes easy
to write a script for Voice Assistant in Python. The instructions for the assistant can be
handled as per the requirement of user. Speech recognition is the Alexa, Siri, etc. In
Python there is an API called Speech Recognition which allows us to convert speech into
text. It was an interesting task to make my own assistant. It became easier to send emails
without typing any word, searching on Google without opening the browser, and
performing many other daily tasks like playing music, opening your favorite IDE with the
help of a single voice command. In the current scenario, advancement in technologies are
such that they can perform any task with same effectiveness or can say more effectively
than us.
As the voice assistant is using Artificial Intelligence hence the result that it is providing
are highly accurate and efficient. The assistant can help to reduce human effort and
consumes time while performing any task, they removed the concept of typing
completely and behave as another individual to whom we are talking and asking to
perform task. The assistant is no less than a human assistant but we can say that this is
more effective and efficient to perform any task. The libraries and packages used to make
this assistant focuses on the time complexities and reduces time.
The functionalities include, it can send emails, it can read PDF, it can send text on
WhatsApp, it can open command prompt, your favorite IDE, notepad etc., It can play
music, it can do Wikipedia searches for you, it can open websites like Google, YouTube,
etc., in a web browser, it can give weather forecast, it can give desktop reminders of your
choice. It can have some basic conversation.
Each company-developer of the intelligent assistant implements his own specific methods
for development, which in turn affects the final output. One assistant can produce speech
more qualitatively, another can more neatly and without more explanations and
corrections do tasks, others are able to do a narrower range of tasks, but most accurately
and as the user demands. Surprisingly, there is no universal assistant who would do all

Jarvis: A Virtual Voice Assistant for Desktop Using Python 2021-22

tasks equally well. People often spend more time on doing routine tasks, and they can be
automated with these types of personal assistants. When someone works in an
environment with which he/she is not familiar with, they often find it difficult to locate
applications that they need, like browser, any IDE or nay other software. Most of the
time, they will end up wasting hours of time, searching for the application alone. This
results in unnecessary time wastage. Therefore, a voice enabled personal assistant will
help automating this process. User is expected just to give a voice command, and the
assistant will take care of the rest.
These systems are constantly improving and improving, go beyond personal computers
and have already firmly established themselves in different mobile devices and gadgets.
The primary goal of this work is to build a local voice assistant that performs the work of
human and the daily task that a human needed to do in day-to-day life. It has some new
features like posting comments on the social media websites such as Facebook,
Instagram, etc. by just few simple commands. You can also know the weather around and
can get the climate conditions in your local region. It can open and launch web-
applications and the local storage of the user computer.

Methodology
3.1 Introduction
In recent years, more innovative technologies were developed to ease our professional
lifestyle. We are building a PC Personal Assistant that works on voice commands and
executes the user query. Our project, PC Personal Assistant is built mainly using python.
The software uses a device’s microphone to accept voice requests while the output takes
place at the system’s speaker. It's a mixture of varied technologies: voice recognition,
voice analysis, and language processing. When a user asks an assistant to perform a task,
the natural language audio signal is converted into digital data which will be analyzed by
the software. Keywords are used to perform certain tasks. Keywords are defined for
particular tasks and if that word is present in your audio the actual tasks are going to be
performed. Tasks that our Pc assistant can perform are searching the information from
Wikipedia and reading the information, fetching top news from Times etc. Python also
provides various libraries for our help. Speech Recognition library is employed to
perform speech to text conversion. Wikipedia library is employed to urge information
from Wikipedia. pyttsx3 library is employed to perform the text to speech, etc. All the
tasks are within the textual form which is then converted into an audio signal.

The system is designed using the concept of Artificial Intelligence and with the help of
necessary packages of Python. Python provides many libraries and packages to perform
the tasks. The data in this project is nothing but user input, whatever the user says, the
assistant performs the task accordingly. The user input is nothing specific but the list of
tasks which a user wants to get performed in human language i.e., English.
The IDE used in this project is Jupyter Notebook. All the python files were created and
all the necessary packages were easily installable in this IDE. For this project following
modules and libraries were used i.e., pyttsx3, SpeechRecognition, Datetime, Wikipedia,
pywhatkit, pyjokes etc. The JARVIS as it gives a design and interesting look while
having the conversation.
3.3 Objectives of the work
The process of designing a virtual voice assistant with the help of speech recognition
module inorder to perform assigned task is divided into five basic categories. They are as
follows:
1. Speech Recognition Module: It is a python module which converts speech to
text. The similar text is then received and fed to the central processor. The speech
input Users can obtain texts from the special corpora organized on the pc server at
the data center from the microphone is temporarily stored within the system which
is then sent to Google cloud for speech recognition.
2. Python Backend: A python backend is simply server-side software written in
Python. The python backend gets the output from the speech recognition module
and then identifies whether the speech output is an API Call and Context
Extraction. The output is then sent back to the python backend to give the required
output to the user.
3. API calls: API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is a
software medium that allows two applications to talk to each other. An API may
be a messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you’re requesting it
from and so delivers the response back to you
4. Content Extraction: Context extraction (CE) is that the task of automatically
extracting structured information from unstructured and/or semi-structured
machine-readable documents. In most 14 cases, this activity concerns processing
human language texts using language processing (NLP). 9 Recent activities in

Dept. of E&C Engineering, GEC, Kushalnagar Page 10

Jarvis: A Virtual Voice Assistant for Desktop Using Python 2021-22

multimedia document processing like automatic, annotation and content extraction

out of images/audio/video might be seen as context extraction TEST RESULTS.
5. Text-to-speech module: Text-to-Speech refers to the power of computers to read
text aloud. Text-to-Speech Engine converts written communication to a phonemic
representation, then converts the phonemic representation to waveforms which
will be output as sound. Text-to-Speech engines with different languages, dialects
and specialized vocabularies are available through third-party publishers.

Hardware and Software

Hardware requirements
Laptop or computer with at least 8 GB RAM.

Software Requirements
• Python 3.9.5
• Jupyter Notebook
• NLTK (Natural Language Tool Kit)

This section gives the explanation of the software used for programming in the project

4.1 Python 3.9.5

Fig 3.3 Python

Python is a powerful programming language ideal for scripting and rapid application
development. It is used in web development (like: Django and Bottle), scientific and
mathematical computing (Orange, SymPy, NumPy) to desktop graphical user Interfaces
(Pygame, Panda3D). Python is designed to be highly readable. It uses English keywords
frequently whereas the other languages use punctuations. It has fewer syntactical
constructions than other languages.
• Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You
do not need to compile your program before executing it. This is similar to PERL
and PHP.
• Python is Interactive − You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with
the interpreter directly to write your programs.
• Python is Object-Oriented − Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique
of programming that encapsulates code within objects.

Dept. of E&C Engineering, GEC, Kushalnagar Page 12

Jarvis: A Virtual Voice Assistant for Desktop Using Python 2021-22

• Python is a Beginner's Language − Python is a great language for the beginner-

level programmers and supports the development of a wide range of applications
from simple text processing to WWW browsers to games.
Python's features include −
• Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined
syntax. This allows a student to pick up the language quickly.
• Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.
• Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.
• A broad standard library − Python's bulk of the library is very portable and
cross-platform compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.
• Interactive Mode − Python has support for an interactive mode which allows
interactive testing and debugging of snippets of code.
• Portable − Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the
same interface on all platforms.
• Extendable − You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These
modules enable programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more
efficient.
• Databases − Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.
• GUI Programming − Python supports GUI applications that can be created and
ported to many system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows
MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.
• Scalable − Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than
shell scripting.

4.2 Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter Notebook (formerly IPython Notebooks)is a web-based interactive computational
environment for creating Jupyter notebook documents. The "notebook" term can
colloquially make reference to many different entities, mainly the Jupyter web
application, Jupyter Python web server, or Jupyter document format depending on
context. A Jupyter Notebook document is a JSON document, following a versioned
schema, containing an ordered list of input/output cells which can contain code, text

Dept. of E&C Engineering, GEC, Kushalnagar Page 13

Jarvis: A Virtual Voice Assistant for Desktop Using Python 2021-22

(using Markdown), mathematics, plots and rich media, usually ending with the ".ipynb"
extension.

A Jupyter Notebook can be converted to a number of open standard output formats

(HTML, presentation slides, LaTeX, PDF, ReStructuredText, Markdown, Python)
through "Download As" in the web interface, via the nbconvert library or "jupyter
nbconvert" command line interface in a shell. To simplify visualisation of Jupyter
notebook documents on the web, the nbconvert library is provided as a service through
Viewer which can take a URL to any publicly available notebook document, convert it to
HTML on the fly and display it to the user.

4.3 Natural Language Toolkit

NLTK is a leading platform for building Python programs to work with human language
data. It provides easy-to-use interfaces to over 50 corpora and lexical resources such as
WordNet, along with a suite of text processing libraries for classification, tokenization,
stemming, tagging, parsing, and semantic reasoning, wrappers for industrial-strength NLP
libraries, and an active discussion forum.
Thanks to a hands-on guide introducing programming fundamentals alongside topics in
computational linguistics, plus comprehensive API documentation, NLTK is suitable for
linguists, engineers, students, educators, researchers, and industry users alike. NLTK is
available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Best of all, NLTK is a free, open source,
community-driven project.
NLTK has been called “a wonderful tool for teaching, and working in, computational
linguistics using Python,” and “an amazing library to play with natural language.”
Natural Language Processing with Python provides a practical introduction to
programming for language processing. Written by the creators of NLTK, it guides the
reader through the fundamentals of writing Python programs, working with corpora,
categorizing text, analyzing linguistic structure, and more.

The assistant, on starting, will initially wait for the input to be given from user. If the user
gives input command, via voice, the assistant will capture it, and searches for the
keyword present in the input command. If the assistant was able to find a key word, then
it will perform the task accordingly, and returns the output back to user, in voice. If not,
the assistant will again start waiting for the user to give input. Each of these
functionalities are having their own importance in the whole system working.
