Open Applications using Python - GeeksforGeeks

07 Apr, 2022
In this article, we are going to create a menu of system applications using Python3. We are going to include the below applications in the menu: 
GOOGLE CHROME
MS EDGE
MS EXCEL
MS POWERPOINT
MS WORD
VLC PLAYER
NOTEPAD
ILLUSTRATOR
PHOTOSHOP
TELEGRAM
You can chat with it or type number of applications to be opened or simply, you can also type software name or its short form like
'Photoshop' -> 'PS'
pyttsx3: It is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python. Unlike alternative libraries, it works offline and is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. An application invokes the pyttsx3.init() factory function to get a reference to a pyttsx3. Engine instance. It is a very easy to use tool which converts the entered text into speech. It can be installed using the below command:
pip install pyttsx3
Below code snippet showcases the use of the above module:
Python3
# create objectengine = pyttsx3.init() # assign voicevoices = engine.getProperty('voices') #changing index changes voices but only 0 and 1 are working hereengine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id) # run toolengine.runAndWait() print("")
  
os: The OS module in python provides functions for interacting with the operating system. OS, comes under Python’s standard utility modules. This module provides a portable way of using operating system dependent functionality.
 
Below is the program to create an Application Menu using Python
 
Python3
# import required moduleimport pyttsx3import os # driver code # create object and assign voiceengine = pyttsx3.init()voices = engine.getProperty('voices') # changing index changes voices but only# 0 and 1 are working hereengine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)engine.runAndWait()print("")print("") # introductionprint("  =============================================== Hello World!! ================================================")engine.say('Hello World!!') print("")print("    My name is Divy Shah,I make this tool With this help of tool you can open below things.......") print("\n\t 1.MICROSOFT WORD \t 2.MICROSOFT POWERPOINT \n\t 3.MICROSOFT EXCEL \t 4.GOOGLE CHROME \n\t 5.VLC PLAYER     \t 6.ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR \n\t 7.ADOBE PHOTOSHOP \t 8.MICROSOFT EDGE \n\t 9.NOTEPAD        \t 10.TELEGRAM \n\n\t\t     0.
