📝 Siri-like Voice Assistant in Terminal (Lubuntu)

✅ Components Used:

• speech_recognition for voice input

• pyttsx3 for voice output (text-to-speech)

• openai (or ollama + local LLM like TinyLLaMA)

• Optional wake word: “Hey Buddy”

🔧 Key Features:

• Voice-activated assistant listens for “Hey Buddy”

• Transcribes commands and sends to GPT/local model

• Reads out the response

🧪 Sample Workflow:

# Setup recognizer, TTS engine
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
engine = pyttsx3.init()

# Wait for wake word using recognizer.listen()
# On trigger, listen for command and forward to GPT/local model
# Use pyttsx3 to speak out the response

🔁 Optional: Replace OpenAI with Local LLM

• Use ollama to run a local model like tinyllama

• Replace OpenAI API calls with subprocess or HTTP calls to ollama
