Make Python Talk Build Apps with Voice Control and Speech Recognition

Each chapter scaffolds multiple projects that allow you to see real results from your code at a manageable pace, while end-of-chapter exercises strengthen your understanding of new concepts. You'll design interactive games, like Connect Four and Tic-Tac-Toe, and create intelligent computer opponents that talk and take commands; you'll make a real-time language translator, and create voice-activated financial-market apps that track the stocks or cryptocurrencies you are interested in. Finally, you'll load all of these features into the ultimate virtual personal assistant - a conversational VPA that tells jokes, reads the news, and gives you hands-free control of your email, browser, music player, desktop files, and more.
Along the way, you'll learn how to:
*Build Python modules, implement animations, and integrate live data into an app
*Use web-scraping skills for voice-controlling podcasts, videos, and web searches
*Fine-tune the speech recognition to accept a variety of input
*Associate regular tasks like opening files and accessing the web with speech commands
*Integrate functionality from other programs into a single VPA with computational knowledge engines to answer almost any question
