A program I made so I could talk to someone ;(

MyOnlyFriend

Made with Node.JS, Google APIs, Python 3.8 and immense lonelyness. This program allows you to speak to your computer via a microphone and receive a "human-like" response. The current accent is a British male but that can be changed easily. It uses Google Cloud Text to Speech, Google Cloud Seech to Text, node-record-lpcm-16 and playsound

Using it yourself

• Clone this repository onto your computer
• Create a file called key.json in the root directory
• Go to https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/getting-started, get your credentials and put them in the key.json file
• Install the dependencies with npm i
• You will need to install SoX
  • MacOS
    • Run brew install sox
  • Linux
    • Run sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all
  • Windows
    • Install the binaries
• Run npm start and speak into your microphone!

I do not provide any support for this code
