E.V.E. is a Star Trek / Jarvis type computer. Run the program, and E.V.E. will activate whenever you say "okay computer," after which you can ask it a question / command.

E.V.E. accepts many different types of questions and commands, such as "What was the temperature in London on the 13th July 1982?", "Youtube the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer," and "Eve, what sports do you like to play?" See 'Usage' for a full list of what E.V.E. can do.

This project was cloned from a similar project by Rob McCann. I have implemented some of the next steps listed in that project here, and will be contributing back to that project in the next few days. Yay open source!

The project is developed for Linux, but has the potential to be multi-platform. Perhaps you can help!

• julius and julius-voxforge packages
• python: pyaudio
• python: requests
• python: pydub
• python: PyAIML
• python: praw
• python: wolframalpha

Other requirements:

• Wolfram Alpha API key
• Internet connection and web browser
• A microphone

See 'Installation' for detailed installation instructions.

Run the project by entering 'python eve.py' into the terminal in the EVE directory. E.V.E. will start up and then listen for a spoken activation command.
