How to Create Your Own Talking Program Like JARVIS

Introduction

Have you ever dreamt of having your very own virtual assistant like JARVIS from the Iron Man movies? Well, you're in luck! In this blog, we're going to show you how to create a simple talking program using Visual Basic Scripting (VBS) that can speak out any text you input. It's a fun and educational project that will give you a taste of what it's like to build your own AI-like program.

Step 1: Open Notepad 

To get started, open Notepad on your Windows computer. You can do this by searching for "Notepad" in the Windows search bar and clicking on it.

Step 2: Copy and Paste the Code 

Copy the following code and paste it into Notepad:

Dim message, sapi 

message=InputBox("What do you want me to say?"," Made by M Yasir Imam") 

Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") 

sapi.Speak message

Step 3: Save the File 

Now, it's time to save your file. Go to "File" and then "Save As." In the "Save as type" dropdown, select "All Files." Name your file "Talk.vbs" and save it to a location of your choice. Make sure you choose a memorable location because you'll need to access this file to run your program.

Step 4: Run Your Talking Program 

Locate the "Talk.vbs" file you just created and double-click on it. A pop-up window will appear, asking you, "What do you want me to say?" Type in any sentence or phrase you want your program to speak, then click "OK." Sit back and listen as your computer's text-to-speech engine brings your words to life!

Customizing Your Talking Program 

The code we provided is a basic template, but you can customize it to make your talking program even more unique and sophisticated. Here are a few ideas:

• Add Multiple Voices: You can modify the code to include different voices or accents. Experiment with changing the voice settings to make your program sound more interesting.
• Voice Commands: You can expand your program to respond to voice commands. For example, you could program it to answer questions or provide information when you say specific keywords.
• Text-to-Speech Feedback: Create a script that reads aloud the content of a text file or a website. This could turn your program into a newsreader or a bedtime storyteller.
• Interface: Build a user-friendly interface for your program, allowing users to interact with it more intuitively.

Conclusion

Creating a talking program like JARVIS is not as complex as it might seem at first. With just a few lines of code, you can have your very own virtual assistant that can speak to you. While the example we've provided here is relatively simple, it's a great starting point for anyone interested in exploring the world of programming and artificial intelligence.

So, go ahead, have fun, and let your creativity run wild as you embark on your journey to create your own talking program. Who knows, maybe one day you'll have your very own AI companion like Tony Stark!
