Speech-enabled Discord Bot

Rin

She's alive! Rin now lives on a Digital Ocean droplet. I have githooks set up to auto build when I push, so she'll always be online.

Discord bot build from following mainly this guide and a bit of this codebase.

Built with

• node v12.18.2
• discord.js v12.2.0

Quick Start

• Make sure you are using node v12.18.2 nvm use --lts
• Start mongodb server sudo service mongodb start. For some reason, this doesn't work for my WSL machine so I do sudo mongod & every time I want to work on this project after restarting my computer.
• Run node index.js to start.

Future Plans

• Add permissions for who can / can't use the voice recognition features. It can get pretty costly.
• Add those same features, but make it voice enabled.
• Figure out a way to reduce the Google Speech to text API usage. I've only tested this thing for like less than an hour each day for 3 days, and I've been charged $3 already. I think I'm making unecesscary requests; info.

TODO:

• Make the ?play command more robust
• Make all bot outputs the same format (i.e. message embeds)
• Check for stability
• Deploy bot to server
• Make bot website
• Publicize bot
