I am making an Ai assistant using python's Tensorflow module. Now I am trying to make a voice for my Ai assistant. Like Google assistant, Cortana, Siri all of them has their own voice. But I don't know how to make an artificial voice. I searched the web but not getting any helpful answer.
Can someone please tell me a way of making a artificial voice or just the methods I should look for. I don't know what this process is called. Probably that's why I can't find any answer on the web. It would be nice if someone please help me!
The easiest way to add a voice to your AI assistant is to use a text-to-speech library like:
pyttsx3
gTTS
Google's text-to-speech
If you want to add your own voice, you could use deep learning for that, like in:
Real-Time-Voice-Cloning

What would be the best way to incorporate Google's Dialogflow into an Unreal Engine VR project? I haven't found anyone who has attempted this yet. Looking for any recommendations from experts about the best place to start. Or examples that are out in the wild that I haven't come across. I am familiar with both Unreal blueprints and Dialogflow. Would be great to have some type of NPC that has the ability to talk back in VR using Google's assistant. Regards, John.
I just wanted to know if we can somehow integrate alexa or google assistant onto a website I made. I don't want to make completely new skills or apps. I just wanted to know if I type something, can I get a reply from google assistant or alexa and show on website.
I think Google has some google assistant sdk but then, it's written on python and even the node-js one is dependent on python environments
So is there any chance I can do this?
No.
The only way to initiate conversation with the smart speaker is by voice. No server side activation, sorry.
Does anyone know if there is a way to trigger DialogFlow from Face Detection API?
The DialogFlow conversation process is not very user friendly since you need to say :
"Ok Google, Talk to my app"
I've seen something about implicit invocations and deep links here:

that provides a better approach
I'm trying to do something like this

But with Google Assistant / Dialogflow / Vision API (Face detection)
Anyone has ideas how to do this in Google?
I am afraid that using face detection to trigger Google Assistant is not possible. Google requires you to use a trigger word such as "Ok, Google Talk to my app" when you build actions. This is done due to privacy for the user and makes sure that the app cannot be triggered without the user talking to the device.
Implicit invocations and deep links are shortcuts in your conversations, but they can only be used if you trigger the assistant first by saying "Okay Google..." Thanks for reading my blog by the way :)
Google Clouds Text-To-Speech API has a WaveNet model whose output in my opinion sounds way better than the standard speech. This model can be used in Dialogflow agents (Settings > Speech > Text To Speech), which results in the generated speech being included in the DetectIntentResponse. However, I can find no way to use this speech with the Actions-On-Google integration, i.e. in an actual Google Assistant app. Have I overlooked this, or is this really not possible, and if so, does anyone know when they plan to enable this?
In the Actions console, going to the Invocation page lets you select a TTS voice.
All of the voices can be demoed on the Languages & Locales page of the docs, and the vast majority of them use WaveNet voices.
I’m wondering how I can create a music Player for my Google Assistant compatible devices (e.g. Google Home mini, my tablet, phone...). I’ve been researching about how I can do this, but I’ve just found things like using Dialogflow, node-js and/or Actions on Google using Google Firebase Cloud Functions. I’m new to all this, I was motivated by Spotify and Pandora and all those other services. So I also tried looking up how they do it, but I found nothing. If any of you Know how to do it, please help me.
In addition to all that, I am just a tad bit confused about the whole Dialogflow and Actions on Google integration, but that’s easier to fix than the overall question.
If this isn’t “solvable” is there a way to do it with Dialogflow Fulfillment’s?
In order to create something like Spotify or Pandora, you need to partner with Google to create a media action. These are different than the conversational actions that you can create using Actions on Google and Dialogflow.
If you want to create a conversational action with Actions on Google and Dialogflow that produce long-form audio results as part of the conversation, you will want to look into the Media response, which you can include in your replies.
