Voice based Email For Blind [CLI] 📧

Created By : Sayak Naskar License : MIT Email: sayaknaskar@gmail.com

Free, Open-Source Emailing System for Blind

About

The project is a python-based application for visually impaired persons using speech to text voice response, thus enabling everyone to control their mail accounts using their voice only and to be able to read,send, and perform all the other useful tasks. The system will prompt the user with voice commands to perform certain action and the user will respond to the same. The main benefit of this system is that the use of mouse is completely eliminated, the user will have to respond through voice only.

Features

• Send email via voice.
• Fetch unseen emails.
• Count number of unseen emails.

Modification

• If you want to save the mp3 files in other directory then just follow the below instruction otherwise don't modify anything.

• Just add your desktop directory in code where I have used path words in several lines. If you don't know your desktop directory then just open terminal or command prompt and paste the below code. Like: C:\Users\sayak\Desktop (this is my desktop directory).

  %userprofile%\Desktop

• Also paste your email id and password in line number 104.

• If invalid or unsupported audio file occurs or Recall that only FLAC, AIFF, and RIFF WAV files are supported occurs then try this link. Read the file with librosa, then convert it back to a temporary .wav file. Then read it back with the wave package.

• Okay so for SMTPAuthenticationError just visit this site. Allow the less secure apps: ON
