Dragonfire

Dragonfire is an open source virtual assistant project for Ubuntu based Linux distributions.

^{Special thanks to Jassu Ilama for the beautiful 3D modelling and material design of this avatar.}

Dragonfire is not The Next Big Thing but a spectacular combination of freely available technologies.

Dragonfire goes through these steps for each one of your commands, respectively:

• Search across the built-in commands
• Try to Learn using Advanced NLP and Database Management Techniques
• Ask to Omniscient Q&A Engine (Thanks to all people who contributed to magnificent spaCy project and Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for this feature)

Dragonfire uses Kaldi Speech Recognition Toolkit to understand your voice commands and Festival Speech Synthesis System to handle text-to-speech tasks.

Feel free to join our Gitter chat room.

Installation

Download the latest release (the .deb file) and:

^{To install the dependencies run sudo apt-get -f install right after the dpkg -i command. The installation will take roughly 20-30 minutes because it will compile and install Kaldi under /usr/share/kaldi directory.}

  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -c, --cli     Command-line interface mode. Give commands to Dragonfire via

                generate any audio output.
