CHAPTER 1
 Introduction and Background of the Industry or

user based problem.
1.1 Introduction
In this chapter we are going to see about voice assistant, What is voice assistant and how it works.
Many of us might have already known about this voice assistant and we use this in our day-to-day
life. A voice assistant is a digital assistant that uses voice recognition, language processing
algorithms, and voice synthesis to listen to specific voice commands and return relevant
information or perform specific functions as requested by the user. A brief description is
given about them in this chapter.
Speech is an effective and natural way for people to interact with applications,
complementing or even replacing the use of mice, keyboards, controllers, and gestures. A
hands- free, yet accurate way to communicate with applications, speech lets people be
productive and stay informed in a variety of situations where other interfaces will not.
Speech recognition is a topic that is very useful in many applications and environments in
our daily life.
Generally speech recognizer is a machine which understands humans and their spoken
word in some way and can act thereafter. A different aspect of speech recognition is to
facilitate for people with functional disability or other kinds of handicap. To make their
daily chores easier, voice control could be helpful. With their voice they could operate the
light switch turn off/on or operate some other domestic appliances. This leads to the
discussion about intelligent homes where these operations can be made available for the
common man as well as for handicapped.

1.2 Existing System
The existing system likely involves using JavaScript, a JavaScript web framework,
to create a Voice Assistance similar to Siri ,Alexa. This involves designing a Web
application with a user interface where users can interact with the Voice Assistance. The
Voice Assistance backend would involve integrating natural language processing (NLP)
capabilities, possibly utilizing libraries like markdown for understanding and generating
text responses. Additionally, you may use pre- trained language models like GPT-3
through APIs to enhance the Voice Assistant's conversational abilities.
 Drawbacks of existing system:
 Scalability: Depending on the complexity of the Voice Assistance and the

number of users, scalability could be a concern. JavaScript might not scale
well with a massive number of concurrent users.
 Training Data Limitation: Developing a Voice Assistance with human-like

conversational abilities requires extensive training data and computational
resources, which might be limited in certain environments.
 Maintenance: Keeping the Voice Assistant up-to-date with the latest

advancements in NLP and maintaining compatibility with new versions of
Javascript or underlying libraries could be challenging and time-consuming.
 Dependency on External APIs: If utilizing external APIs for language

models like GPT-3, the chatbot's functionality could be affected if there are
changes to the API, or if access to the API is restricted or discontinued.
 Natural Language Understanding: Achieving robust natural language

understanding (NLU) to accurately interpret user inputs and generate
meaningful responses can be difficult, especially in handling ambiguous or
nuanced language.
 User Experience: Designing an intuitive and engaging user interface for the
chatbot to ensure a smooth user experience might require significant effort and
expertise in user interface design.

CHAPTER 4
 Methodology
4.1 Waterfall Model
For this project we use the Waterfall Model because all requirements
are known at the beginning of the project and we divided our project in parts so
complete one part after another and waterfall development are that allows for
departmentalization and control. A schedule can be set with deadline for each
stage of development and a product can proceed through the development
process model phases one by one.
Waterfall model is a linear (sequential) development life cycle model that
describes development as a chain of successive steps. No phase can be started
before or simultaneously with the previous or current one.
Waterfall Model’s Main Phases
1. System Requirements Phase
During the first phase, the requirements for the system are established.
The process starts with eliciting Ask me website requirements, analyzing
and prioritizing them, which ends with the creation of the Vision & Scope
document. Vision is defined as a “long-term strategic concept of the
ultimate purpose and form of a new system.” The scope is what “draws the
boundary between what’s in and what’s out for the project.” In this phase
we gathered the requirements of Voice Assistant Application.
