LLM powered voice assistant in Python

An example project showing how to use PyWebRTCVad and Carter with your voice in Python. This will run on a Raspberry Pi, Macbook, Windows PC and gives you complete voice input and output to your character. It also uses the Carter API to get the agent's voice output (subject to improvement soon!)

🚀 START

First, install the other requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, run the following command to start the server:

python app.py --key your-api-key --user=UNIQUE_STRING

To find out more about the API key and configure your agent, visit the Carter website.

PyAudio for M1 Macs

to install PyAudo for M1 Macs, this will require a small workaround, as PortAudio is not automatically detected. first, we need to install PortAudio

brew install portaudio

then, we need to create a new file:

nano ~/.pydistutils.cfg

the contents of that file may vary slightly (ie, version number)

[build_ext]
include_dirs=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/include/
library_dirs=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/lib/

where 19.7.0 should be replaced with the portaudio version you get installed. this should be executed BEFORE running the pip install -r requirements.txt command
