Sparkle Voice Assistant

Libraries Used: cv2 for webcam operations, face_recognition for image processing and face matching.

Steps:

• A reference image (e.g., yash.jpg) is loaded using face_recognition.
• The face encoding of the reference image is computed.
• The webcam captures frames, and faces are compared to the reference encoding.
• If a match is found, a confirmation message is played using text-to-speech (pyttsx3).

Application: This serves as a security feature to identify the user before executing commands.

Libraries Used: speech_recognition for converting speech to text, pyttsx3 for converting text to speech.

Steps:

• The assistant listens for user input via the microphone.
• The speech input is converted to text using Google's Speech-to-Text API.
• The assistant matches the text with predefined commands to perform specific actions.
