Roku TV Voice Remote

This Python script allows you to control your Roku TV completely by voice through keywords. The program waits for the obvious commands "pause", "play", "left", etc. so you don't have struggle with the different UIs of different streaming services. Through language interpretation and your home wifi network, the program sends commands to the Roku API.

Source Code

Built Using

Python Roku API Kaldi Speech Recognition

Notes

I learned the how to install, configure, and develop on top of large, existing projects such as Kaldi. After considerate time following README directions and command line output, I was able to integrate into the speech recognition software.

Note that it appears there are multiple build issues within the Kaldi project now.

Future Updates

Continue to explore different voice models and find the one that allows for the easiest pickup for different accents. If made available to a wider audience, create a way the user can select their own speech model.
Set this script up to continuously run on a microcontroller with a microphone, always picking up as you watch tv.
Currently, program listens in "chunks," so it is possible that the program stops listening and processes mid-word. Need to rework how the program grabs samples and interprets them.
