There are various ways and methods through which we can control our smart home Jarvis, some of which we have explored earlier such as controlling it through. So, to start with, we need to prepare our system to be able to do speech synthesis; to do that, let's perform the following process.
First, go to the terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
What this will do is install the dependency alsa-utils
. Thealsa-utils
package contains various utilities that are useful for controlling your sound drivers.
Once this is done, you need to edit the file. To do it, we need to open the file. Use the following command:
sudo nano /etc/modules
Once that is done, a file will open; at the bottom of that file, you need to add the following line:
