Notes

  • poetry add pyaudio
    • threw an error due to src/_portaudiomodule.c:31:10: fatal error: 'portaudio.h' file not found. Fix is to install the dependency: brew install portaudio.
    • Truncated stacktrace (see below):
  • Installing pyaudio (0.2.12): Failed

  • poetry add SpeechRecognition. Documentation https://pypi.org/project/SpeechRecognition/

    • listen function for a speech recognition instance has a phrase_time_limit setting that is set in seconds. If this is not set, the user will need to hit the return key to stop listening.

  • The audio recognition might not be great although that might be because I am at Starbucks.

    • Text I read: “black fish, blue fish, old fish, new fish”.
    • Text result: “black fish blue fish oprah’s new fish”

Task Completed

  • Use pyaudio interactions and speech to text with python

Future work

  • Generate a datastructure that tracks speech (number of times each word is said on stream).
  • Text to speech for python chatbot. Maybe we could announce followers?
  • Try out Dialogflow again (TypeScript version? and/or Python version)
  • Saving stuff into Firestore (revive this)
  • Revive Discord bot
