Description

In this Google Pi, Raspberry Pi is used as a core system. Respeaker a 4 Mic array is connected with Raspberry Pi to receive voice commands from a distance. For Object recognition and Currency recognition, Deep learning is used. For Voice assistance and YouTube Google API is used and also customized. It will be a friendly device for blind people. For object and currency recognition Web camera or Mobile camera can be interfaced with the Raspberry Pi. Google Assistant

INTRODUCTION:

Nowadays, there are a lot of Voice assistance devices such as Amazon Echo, Google Home Mini, etc. Likewise, this Google Pi is also one kind of voice assistant device which is mainly for visually impaired people to fulfill their needs. It has 4 Great Features, they are

• Currency Recognition: This will be helpful for Blind people while doing Purchase
• Object Recognition: This will be helpful to know the object or vehicle present in front of them
• Voice assistance:? This will be helpful for asking about the weather, General knowledge, Jokes, etc.
• YouTube support: This will be helpful to listen to music and any other educational audio from YouTube Video Google Pi using Raspberry Pi

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In the existing system, there are a lot of disadvantages which stopped only up to voice assistance, none other than features. Some device works only by getting the voice input from the USB Mic which should be placed near the mouth, else input is given through mobile

DISADVANTAGES

• Hard to setup
• Needs more components
• Needs to give voice commands directly to the mic
• Not possible to control from a distance

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In this proposed system, all old disadvantages get broken by this new Google Pi. Through deep Learning, application classifications are more accurate, for voice assistants by using Google API the responses are faster as well as more accurate. Re-speaker a 4 Mic array, helps to give voice command from distance and from any direction

ADVANTAGES

• Can give voice commands from anywhere in the room
• Easy to setup compared to old methods
• Accuracy of output is increased
• User-friendly system

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

• Raspberry pi connects the whole system to Google assistant API
• The Re-speaker mic and speaker module are connected to raspberry pi
• Re-speaker is used for audio input and output
• Re-speaker which has a 40 pin interface directly plugged in the Raspberry Pi 40 Pin GPIO. Then for echoing the voice response from the system, a 3.5mm audio speaker is connected to the audio jack of the Raspberry Pi.
