RecipeReader

This is a simple Recipe Reader which reads out the recipe line by line from a text file and only reads next line after the user have said "done". This project used 2 python libraries : pyttsx3 and speech_recognition.

Setting Up

To install pyttsx3:

$ pip install pyttsx3

To install SpeechRecognition:

$ pip install SpeechRecognition

Note: Internet Connection will be required as Google Web Speech API is used with SpeechRecognition.

To Install PyAudio (for microphone access):

On Debian Linux:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio python3-pyaudio

On Windows:

$ pip install pyaudio

On macOS:

$ brew install portaudio
$ pip install pyaudio

Testing the code:

A plaintext file (.txt) is included for example. To setup a plaintext file, use the name recipe_NameOfTheItem.txt (replace NameOfTheItem with the name of the food item). In the plaintext file separate the lines using ENTER. Do not give empty line breaks. When prompted to enter the recipe name (while running the code) enter the NameOfTheItem. After a line has been read out, wait for some time and say "done" to get the next line.
