Hello there buccaneers!
I know this isn’t really Pimoroni based, but you fellows seem to know plenty about allsorts, so I wonder if you can help me:
I’ve made a quaint little Python script for registering speech and fulfilling actions (a verbal interface, if you will). It works perfectly fine, if a little slowly, but the way I have programmed it to search for the proper action within the commands is a little slow. I was wondering if any of you have had any past experience with speech recognition and have any ideas on how to speed things up?
Here’s a snippet of the code as an example:
def recognise():
command_words = ["shutdown", "time"]
command = speechGoogle()
if command == None:
main()
else:
words = command.split()
for word in words:
for command_word in command_words:
if word == command_word:
if word == "shutdown":
os.system("mpg321 /home/pi/General\ Python\ Projects/Speech\ Recognition/Sounds/end_beep.mp3 &")
exit()
elif word == "time":
now = datetime.datetime.now()
speak("The time is currently ")
speak(now.hour+1)
speak("hundred")
speak("and")
speak(now.minute)
speak("hours.")
else:
main()
else:
main()

Thank you for all your help. :)
