Usage

Activate the Voice-powered Assistant by:

• pressing RECORD 3 times (regretfully our team was filled with streamlit n00bs)
• Now give your voice command
• After you're done with your command press STOP 1 time !
• Now you will see "Running" on the top left corner (this means the bot is transcribing your voice command to text. Be patient!)
• When the agent is done it will output your voice command (in sound and written language)
• By pressing STOP 2 more times you'll be back where you started

A few examples:

• Press RECORD 3 times -> "Schedule a meeting with John tomorrow at 3 PM." -> Press STOP 1 time -> Wait -> After answer press STOP 2 more times (and go again :))
• Press RECORD 3 times "Compose an email to [[email protected]] with the subject 'Project Update'." -> Press STOP 1 time -> Wait -> After answer press STOP 2 more times (and go again :))
• Press RECORD 3 times "Show me unread emails from last week." -> Press STOP 1 time -> Wait -> After answer press STOP 2 more times (and go again :))

Note on FFmpeg

FFmpeg is essential for our voice assistant's sound output. Ensure you have it installed to prevent potential errors.

❗ If you encounter any issues related to sound output, it's likely due to FFmpeg.

To resolve this:

1. Visit FFmpeg's official website.
2. Download the source code.
3. Remember to add FFmpeg to your system's PATH after installation.
