Gemini Voice Assistant

A practical tool for interacting with Google's AI through voice, camera, screen, and text. This project creates a seamless experience for communicating with an AI assistant using multiple input methods.

What This Tool Does

• Talk to the AI using your microphone
• Type messages and get both text and voice responses
• Share your screen for visual assistance
• Use your camera for visual queries
• Works quickly with minimal delay
• Easily adjust settings to your preferences
• Keeps track of conversations for reference

Before You Start

You'll need:

• A computer running Windows, Mac, or Linux
• Python 3.8 or newer
• Internet connection
• Microphone (for voice features)
• Google API credentials

Setting Up

Follow these steps to get started:

1. Download the code

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/gemini-voice-assistant.git

2. Go to the project folder

   cd gemini-voice-assistant

3. Create a separate environment (recommended)

   python -m venv env
   env\Scripts\activate

4. Install required packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Set up your credentials

   • Create a file named .env in the main folder
   • Add your Google API key:

     GOOGLE_API_KEY = your_api_key_here
     

6. In the main.py file, hash all mode examples and unhash just one at a time to use a specific feature:

# Examples:
# To run audio mode:
main(input_mode=INPUT_MODE_AUDIO)
    
# To run text mode:
# main(input_mode=INPUT_MODE_TEXT)
    
# To run camera mode:
# main(input_mode=INPUT_MODE_CAMERA)

# To run screen mode with monitor index:
# main(input_mode=INPUT_MODE_SCREEN, monitor_index=DEFAULT_MONITOR_INDEX)

Using the Assistant

To talk with the assistant:

python main.py

Adjusting Settings

You can change how the assistant works by editing the src/config.py file:

• Change the AI model version
• Adjust audio quality settings
• Modify input/output preferences

Common Problems

• Audio not working: Check your microphone connections and system permissions
• Missing packages: Run pip install -r requirements.txt again
• API errors: Verify your Google API key is correct and has proper permissions
