Prerequisites for Implementation

Before we begin, ensure you have the following ready:

• Python 3 installed on your machine
• An API key for the OpenAI API

Step 1: Installing Required Libraries

We need to install some essential libraries: SpeechRecognition, openai, gTTS, and pyaudio. You can do this by executing the following commands in your terminal:

pip install SpeechRecognition

pip install openai

pip install gTTS

pip install pyaudio

Step 2: Importing Necessary Libraries

In your Python script, you’ll need to import these libraries:

import speech_recognition as sr

import openai

import os

from gtts import gTTS

import pyaudio

import wave

Step 3: Setting the API Key

To access the OpenAI API, you must set your API key as an environment variable:

openai.api_key = os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]

Step 4: Transforming Microphone Input to Text

To convert audio from the microphone into text, we will utilize the SpeechRecognition library. Begin by initializing a Recognizer object and setting the microphone as the audio source:

r = sr.Recognizer()

with sr.Microphone() as source:

audio = r.listen(source)

Now, use the recognize_google() method to turn the audio into text:

text = r.recognize_google(audio)

print(text)

Step 5: Generating a GPT-3 Response

Next, we will generate a response from GPT-3 using the OpenAI API. Define a function that takes the text input and retrieves the response:

def generate_response(prompt):

completions = openai.Completion.create(

engine="text-davinci-002",

prompt=prompt,

max_tokens=1024,

n=1,

stop=None,

temperature=0.5,

)

message = completions.choices[0].text

return message

Call this function and pass the text you converted earlier:

response = generate_response(text)

print(response)

Step 6: Converting the Response to Speech

We will now convert the generated response into speech using the gTTS library:

tts = gTTS(response)

tts.save("response.mp3")

You can play the audio file using the os library:

os.system("response.mp3")

Step 7: Recording Audio

To record audio, we will utilize the pyaudio and wave libraries. Start by initializing the PyAudio object and setting the microphone as the audio source:

audio = pyaudio.PyAudio()

Look for the microphone in the device list:

input_device_index = None

for i in range(audio.get_device_count()):

device_info = audio.get_device_info_by_index(i)

if device_info["name"].lower() == "microphone":

input_device_index = device_info["index"]

break

if input_device_index is None:

raise ValueError("No microphone was found")

Create a stream to read the audio data:

stream = audio.open(

format=pyaudio.paInt16,

channels=1,

rate=44100,

input=True,

input_device_index=input_device_index,

)

Next, use the wave library to save the audio data into a file:

wavefile = wave.open("recording.wav", "wb")

wavefile.setnchannels(1)

wavefile.setsampwidth(audio.get_sample_size(pyaudio.paInt16))

wavefile.setframerate(44100)

data = stream.read(1024)

while data:

wavefile.writeframes(data)

data = stream.read(1024)

wavefile.close()

stream.stop_stream()

stream.close()

audio.terminate()

Complete Python Code

Here’s the complete script that accomplishes all the steps mentioned:

# Install the necessary libraries

!pip install SpeechRecognition

!pip install openai

!pip install gTTS

!pip install pyaudio

# Import the libraries

import speech_recognition as sr

import openai

import os

from gtts import gTTS

import pyaudio

import wave

# Set the API key

openai.api_key = os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]

# Define a function to generate a response from GPT-3

def generate_response(prompt):

completions = openai.Completion.create(

engine="text-davinci-002",

prompt=prompt,

max_tokens=1024,

n=1,

stop=None,

temperature=0.5,

)

message = completions.choices[0].text

return message

# Initialize the Recognizer and set the microphone as the audio source

r = sr.Recognizer()

with sr.Microphone() as source:

audio = r.listen(source)

# Convert the audio to text

text = r.recognize_google(audio)

print(text)

# Generate a response from GPT-3

response = generate_response(text)

print(response)

# Convert the response to audio

tts = gTTS(response)

tts.save("response.mp3")

# Play the audio

os.system("response.mp3")

# Initialize PyAudio and set the microphone as the audio source

audio = pyaudio.PyAudio()

input_device_index = None

for i in range(audio.get_device_count()):

device_info = audio.get_device_info_by_index(i)

if device_info["name"].lower() == "microphone":

input_device_index = device_info["index"]

break

if input_device_index is None:

raise ValueError("No microphone was found")

stream = audio.open(

format=pyaudio.paInt16,

channels=1,

rate=44100,

input=True,

input_device_index=input_device_index,

)

# Create a Wave_write object and save the audio to a file

wavefile = wave.open("recording.wav", "wb")

wavefile.setnchannels(1)

wavefile.setsampwidth(audio.get_sample_size(pyaudio.paInt16))

wavefile.setframerate(44100)

data = stream.read(1024)

while data:

wavefile.writeframes(data)

data = stream.read(1024)

wavefile.close()

stream.stop_stream()

stream.close()

audio.terminate()
