developed by Guido van Rossum. It is open-
source and available on all platforms for free.
Along with this, we have also used various
modules of pip. Pip is a package manager of Methodology—
python, which contains various modules or code
libraries that are developed by different
developers and available for direct
implementation in the project. Pip is automatically
installed along with the python for version 3.2 or
higher.
This voice assistant is helpful for users who
want to interact with the machine using their
voice. This assistant automates the daily tasks like
opening an application, searching something on
Google, searching Wikipedia for information,
searching weather reports, and reading a
newspaper from any app or web. This assistant
can do all this with a single voice command.
The typical features of the voice assistant
include- 1. Speech Recognition module: Speech
Recognition module is the module which converts

used the Google cloud API to convert human
 Display date and time speech into text. Once, the human speech is
converted into text, now we can process this text

into a desired outcome.
 Search anything on Google
2. Python Backend: Once the speech is converted

Result and Output—

This section of the paper describes the working of
the voice assistant. This voice assistant first
converts the voice of the user into a text and then
takes the actions according to the pre-coded
instructions.
We have used various modules from pip package
manager to provide a voice to the assistant,
speech-to-text, and text-to-speech. Retrieving
information from Wikipedia. Along with this, we
have used a web scraping library of python called
Beautiful Soup to display the news headlines.
