[@thisguy7612]

Ok this is for anyone new (like myself), who is trying build their own AI. If you are using Pyttsx3 when ever you create a function make sure to put engine.runAndWait() at the end of the function so that the AI can speak other wise it won't. Took me all night to figure that out, watched videos and went through reddit but no one could figure it out. Also thanks Traversy, I was trying to find a video on voice recog and you did an amazing job at explaining it, I've been looking for documents on it but could not for the life of me find anything useful on it, and then you talked about the Kit extension which is helping me understand coding as well. So again thanks and hopefully this helps someone who is running into the same issue as I did last night lmao.

[@Harytus]

For anyone programming this on non-Mac: PyObjC is a package only for Mac. I run into issues installing that (Fedora 30) and it wasted some of my time. Instead playsound will use GStreamer for linux. As far I know it is already available in most linux distros. There was a bug on my side that seems to be common (bug is reported on playsound github but there was no response) which was caused by missing gi module. I had to symlink my global Python gi package to my venv and then it worked. I am not sure if that was the best solution. Maybe someone with better experience might clarify that. I found all steps I described here on the net, so they are not my idea.

One addition is to have it respond only when the question starts with Alexis, similar to when you say Alexa or Ok goggle, is called the key word. Other improvement is to tied it up with speach processing to capture the intention and being able to respond to multple questions that ask the same thing, for example what is your name? or how you want to be called? etc.
