Cara is a virtual assistant capable of understanding voice commands and completes tasks for the user. It has been developed using Python programming language and has come to action using VS Code IDE and Jupyter Notebook. Microsoft Eva and speech recognition module has been used as the voice of Cara and google text to speech to identify user’s voice. In the era of multitasking, Cara offers users ten different functions. Like other virtual assistants, it can recognize the user’s voice and gives the result accordingly. Starting from the most basic feature that is providing date and time to making users happy with the entertainment features. It allows users to find songs using the well-known apps “Spotify” or “YouTube Music” as well as delivering good jokes. The most used encyclopaedia that is Wikipedia is also made available in Cara. Having a hard time finding an app made easier by Cara just by writing a simple command. And finally emailing someone without even typing a letter is performed by Cara.
We have created a virtual AI assistant CARA with help
of Python and Python modules. CARA can help users in
performing various class of tasks without moving their
fingers. Users only have to give voice command to
CARA as they are having conversation with someone in
real life. CARA can also talk to users like a virtual
friend.
We are in the age of AI and the multitasking.
Sometimes we need to multiple works at a time.
Sometimes we want to relax our body while working.
CARA is made for these things. It can help you in
multitasking. It can entertain you, can talk to you and
can play music for you too.
To develop CARA we use Python programming
language, VS Code IDE and Jupyter Notebook. We
used pyaudio module to take audio commands. We
used Microsoft Eva as the voice of CARA and speech
recognition module and google text to speech to identify
the voice of user. We wrote different functions to
perform different tasks.
Our virtual assistant can listen and comprehend verbal input given by the user. It then takes the input and runs a search on google chrome. Via this application, it can bring the world of information to the user’s fingertips. The user will no longer have to open and search in a physical device, this virtual assistant will do it all for them.
Our virtual assistant can find the music that the user likes and can play it using Spotify or YouTube. For a music lover, this makes music searching much easier and convenient and also saves the user from the hassle of having to search for the music that he craves to listen, on his own. In a group function, this becomes much easier as anyone can direct what music to play next, instead of having to keep going back to the device every time to change the music.
Our virtual assistant can visit any app installed on the user’s device as per command. It can open and access the app with ease and can show the same to its user. This is helpful when the user is busy doing something else and needs to access his device simultaneously. Imagine cleaning the house and suddenly you remember something that needs to be added to the grocery list, or maybe you are playing with your friends and you want to enjoy some music, our virtual assistant can do just that.
Now if there is a very special moment, don’t let it slip. Whenever the user is watching something meaningful to them at the present moment, and they want to take a screenshot of the screen, they can do that with the help of our virtual assistant. With just a voice command, our virtual assistant can take a screenshot of the current scene that the user is watching. Whether it is your favourite movie scene, an inspirational quote, or the cookie recipe that you like, we’ve got you covered.
Cara is capable of telling you the date and time. All you've got to do is say- " What's the date/time? " and Cara will reply and return you the current systems time(hr-min-sec) or date(dd-mm-yyyy) whatever you've asked. So there is no need to see your calendar or clock, just ask, it's that simple.
Every time you feel detached due to the current situation, just go to Cara and say- "Tell me a joke" and Cara will revert with a rib-tickling joke which will make your day.
Cara recognizes the verbal input from the user and proceeds to display the specific Wikipedia page the user has asked for. Researching for a project? Want to know more about something? The user will no longer have to open a browser and search.
