Jarvis

Overview

Jarvis is a small voice control script that listens for commands and sends them to a remote Discord music bot using HTTP requests.

Get a Porcupine key from here and create a new file named .env in this directory containing your Porcupine and Discord details:

PORCUPINE_KEY="<YOUR-PORCUPINE-KEY>"
GUILD_ID="<DISCORD-GUILD-ID>"
USER_ID="<YOUR-DISCORD-USER-ID>"
VOICE_CHANNEL_ID="<TARGET-VOICE-CHANNEL-ID>"
MUSIC_BOT_URL="<YOUR-MUSIC-BOT-URL>"

If MUSIC_BOT_URL is omitted, Jarvis logs a warning and does not attempt to send music bot requests.

Setup

1. Install the required Python packages by running the helper script:

./install_dependencies.sh

The script installs everything listed in requirements.txt using pip.

2. Download the Vosk English model from here and extract its contents into a new directory called model.

Usage

python jarvis.py

Then say: "Jarvis, play hamster dance" (using your default microphone) and Jarvis will instruct the music bot to play it. Works with other common commands too:

🔤 Phrase	🛠️ Action Performed	📤 Command Sent
"play [song name]"	Play a song by name	/play [song name]
"pause"	Pause playback	/pause
"resume"	Resume paused playback	/resume
"next"	Skip to the next song	/next
"clear"	Clear the playlist or queue	/clear
"stop"	Stop playback	/stop
"now playing"	Display current track	/now-playing

Troubleshooting

unknown voice id error

If you encounter this pyttsx3 error:

1. Ensure your Python interpreter matches the architecture of your installed voices (64‑bit voices require 64‑bit Python, etc.).

2. Select a built‑in SAPI5 voice like "Microsoft David Desktop".

3. Alternatively, edit jarvis.py and set a specific voice ID:

   engine.setProperty("voice", <voice_id>)
