Python Script to Shutdown your PC using Voice Commands

Yes, it is possible with the help of terminal and some modules in Python through which one can shut down a PC by just using voice commands

Required Modules:

• OS module: It is an in-built module in python that provides function for interacting with the operating system.
• Speech Recognition module: It is an external module in python whose functionality depends on the voice commands of the user.
• Pyttsx3 module: it is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python.

Installation:

pip install SpeechRecognition
pip install pyttsx3

Role of Terminal:

In terminal there are many tags for the shutdown command, however we will use the /s tag with it to shut down the system.

Below are the steps to create a program to shut doe=wn PC using Voice Commands:

Step 1: Create a class Gfg and then create its methods, create takeCommands() method to take commands as input.

Python3

import SpeechRecognition as sr

# Create class
class Gfg:

    # Method to take voice commands as input
    def takeCommands(self):

        # Using Recognizer and Microphone Method for input voice commands
        r = sr.Recognizer()
        with sr.Microphone() as source:
            print('Listening')

            # Number pf seconds of non-speaking audio before
            # a phrase is considered complete
            r.pause_threshold = 0.7
            audio = r.listen(source)

            # Voice input is identified
            try:

                # Listening voice commands in indian english
                print("Recognizing")
                Query = r.recognize_google(audio, language='en-in')

                # Displaying the voice command
                print("the query is printed='", Query, "'")

            except Exception as e:

                # Displaying exception
                print(e)
                print("Say that again sir")
                return "None"
        return Query

Step 2: Create a Speak() method so that the computer can communicate with the user.

Python3

# Method for voice output
def Speak(self, audio):

    # Constructor call for pyttsx3.init()
    engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')

    # Setting voice type and id
    voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
    engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)
    engine.say(audio)
    engine.runAndWait()

Step 3: Now create the quitSelf() to shut down the computer. 

Python3

# Method to self shut down system
def quitSelf(self):
    self.Speak("do u want to switch off the computer sir")

    # Input voice command
    take = self.takeCommand()
    choice = take
    if choice == 'yes':

        # Shutting down
        print("Shutting down the computer")
        self.Speak("Shutting the computer")
        os.system("shutdown /s /t 30")
    if choice == 'no':

        # Idle
        print("Thank u sir")
        self.Speak("Thank u sir")

Step 4: Now in the driver code create a Gfg object and call the quitSelf() method.

Python3

# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':

    # Creating gfg object
    Maam = Gfg()

    # Calling the method to self shut down
    Maam.quitSelf()

Below is the complete program to shut down a PC using voice commands:

Python

# Importing required modules
import os
import pyttsx3
import speech_recognition as sr



# Creating class
class Gfg:

    # Method to take choice commands as input
    def takeCommands(self):

          # Using Recognizer and Microphone Method for input voice commands
          r = sr.Recognizer()
          with sr.Microphone() as source:
              print('Listening')

              # Number pf seconds of non-speaking audio before
              # a phrase is considered complete
              r.pause_threshold = 0.7
              audio = r.listen(source)

              # Voice input is identified
              try:

                  # Listening voice commands in indian english
                  print("Recognizing")
                  Query = r.recognize_google(audio, language='en-in')

                  # Displaying the voice command
                  print("the query is printed='", Query, "'")

              except Exception as e:

                  # Displaying exception
                  print(e)
                  # Handling exception
                  print("Say that again sir")
                  return "None"
          return Query


    # Method for voice output
    def Speak(self, audio):

          # Constructor call for pyttsx3.init()
          engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')

          # Setting voice type and id
          voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
          engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)
          engine.say(audio)
          engine.runAndWait()


    # Method to self shut down system
    def quitSelf(self):
        self.Speak("do u want to switch off the computer sir")

        # Input voice command
        take = self.takeCommand()
        choice = take
        if choice == 'yes':

            # Shutting down
            print("Shutting down the computer")
            self.Speak("Shutting the computer")
            os.system("shutdown /s /t 30")
        if choice == 'no':

            # Idle
            print("Thank u sir")
            self.Speak("Thank u sir")



# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
    Maam = Gfg()
    Maam.quitSelf()

Output:
