prophet is a command-line application that allows you to have a conversation with ChatGPT - the newly released GPT-3 model from OpenAI - with your voice.

This prophet application was presented in a video on The Sound of AI YouTube channel. You can watch it here:

To install prophet, you can use the following command:

poetry install

After installing poetry, run the following command:

python -m playwright install

This will install the required browser plugins that enable prophet to connect to ChatGPT via the revChatGPT library.

prophet requires Python 3.8.

prophet uses the revChatGPT library to interact with the ChatGPT model.

You have to create a chatgptconfig.json file in the prophet directory and pass a field called session_token. This is the session token that you get from the ChatGPT website. To know how to do this, please check revChatGPT's wiki page.

poetry uses Google Cloud Text-To-Speech to synthesise speech.

In order to be able to use this service, you should:

• create an account on Google Cloud,
• create a Cloud Platform project,
• enable the Text-To-Speech API in the project
• setup authentication
• download a Json private key

prophet uses pydub to play back MP3 files. You need to install ffmpeg to be able to use MP3s with pydub.

On Debian-like machines, you can install ffmpeg with the following command:

$ sudo apt install ffmpeg

prophet uses the SpeechRecognition library to convert your speech input to text. You need to install portaudio and its Python bindings (pyaudio) to be able to use SpeechRecognition.

The app uses an environment variable called GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to connect to Google Cloud Text-To-Speech safely.

In config.env, set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to the path of the Json private key you previously downloaded while setting up the Google service.

Without this step, you won't be able to connect to Google Cloud Text-To-Speech, and the app will throw an error.

To run prophet, you can use the following command from the terminal:

$ prophet

Once you run this script, you'll be asked to log in to your OpenAI account. After logging in, you're good to go. Enjoy your convo with ChatGPT!
