Package: vinisto
VinistoVinisto is the word for “butler” inEsperanto.It’s based on the following main directrives:It has to be easy to expandNon-strict, you may do as you pleaseSupport many tts/stt systemsMultilanguageKISSBut mostly, KISS is the most important one.InstallationThis requires pyaudio.
I recommend installing pyaudio from your package manager
It also requires pygame, wich requires the same treatment.IE debian:apt-get install python-pyaudio python-pygameAfter that, pip install vinisto will do the magic.Executing vinistoVinisto is ready to use as a library, wich is it’s main goal, but you can try
with some default plugins (time and repeat) by using the built-in “vinisto”

    vinisto.execute_callbacks()Expanding vinistoVinisto has a simple-yet-effective structure, a main package with packages for
each of the principal functionalities:ttssttpluginsPrevious usage example is perfect to illustrate how to use them.
Andvinisto.tts.google_ttsfor the tts part,vinisto.stt.google_sttfor the stt part and finallyvinisto.plugins.timefor the plugins partUsing vinistoVinisto waits for a keyword “vinisto” (that can be changed on main.py).
After that, it’ll receive one phrase, and will try to execute it.Translationsvinisto keyword is localized, so, in the main translation file it’ll be up to each
translator to decide the best name for vinisto in its language.That’s because, in spanish, google was having trouble recognizing “vinisto” (esperanto) keyword.
Currently, its spanish name is “Bautista”, altough that might change in a future, as google voice is female, and bautista is a male name.Translations are in the i18n folder inside the package, and are easily portable.
All plugins are translatable, and currently added to pot file.I’m looking for translators to any possible language. PRs welcome.CommunicationGithub issues welcome, PRs welcome (always following a code style similar to the one already here, and PEP8 compliant).HISTORY0.1.1First bugfix release since 1Fixed TTS (but still not as good as should, it goes by a nice voice now)Fixed translation problems when uppercase is used0.1.0Made say threaded on vinisto responseI18n for everything.Minor bugfixes0.0.10Updated documentation0.0.9Added Infrared support as a module0.0.8Added support for response phrase.Added support to speaking a whole phrase with the keyword on it.0.0.7Added parameter handling
