🧠 Python Desktop Assistant & Utility Suite

A beginner-friendly Python desktop assistant project built using Tkinter, Turtle, Speech Recognition, and core Python modules.
This project bundles multiple small utilities (calculator, games, file tools, converters) into a single assistant-style experience.

⚠️ Note: This project was originally created as a learning project and later revisited. Some parts reflect early Python experimentation.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python 3
• Tkinter (GUI)
• Turtle (graphics)
• pyttsx3 (text-to-speech)
• speech_recognition (voice input – optional)
• subprocess (system commands)

---

⚙️ Installation & Setup

1️⃣ Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Rohan-R07/LocalAssistant.git
cd LocalAssistant

---

📚 Libraries Used

🔹 Built-in Python Libraries

These come pre-installed with Python:

• tkinter – GUI development
• turtle – Graphics & drawing
• subprocess – System command execution
• random – Random number generation
• os – File & system operations
• time – Time-based operations

---

🔹 External Python Libraries

These need to be installed manually:

• pyttsx3 – Text-to-speech
• speech_recognition – Voice recognition

---

📦 Install Required Libraries

Use the following command to install external libraries:

python -m pip install pyttsx3 SpeechRecognition

⚠️ For microphone-based voice recognition, PyAudio is required. Windows users may need to install PyAudio using a .whl file.

⚙️ Installation & Setup

1️⃣ Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Rohan-R07/LocalAssistant.git
cd LocalAssistant

python main_assistant_frontend.py

🧩 Customization Required

Some system-launching features require manual path configuration.

Edit the following lines inside opening_a_file_backend.py:

subprocess.call("put/your/vs code/path/here")
subprocess.call("put/your/chrome/path/here")

Replace them with the actual executable paths installed on your system.
