Speech-in Speech-Out

Proof of concept repo that allows one to replace the standard fgets and fprintf functions with implementations that allow the user to input via speech recognition and the program to output via voice synthesis.

Dependencies

• espeak
• deepspeech
• portaudio
• curses

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  fprintf(stdout, "please say your name\n");
  char name[100];
  fgets(name, 100, stdin);
  fprintf(stdout, "hello %s\n", name);
  return 0;
}

gcc main3.c -lportaudio -lcurses -L./ -ldeepspeech -lespeak-ng speech-in-speech-out.o
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD ./a.out

Possible extensions

Not sure if it makes sense to make a GCC plugin to perform this translation automatically since it seems the linker is perfectly capable of doing it itself.
