Indian Railways Announcement Software
Abstract
The Railway announcement software system is used to make announcements about the trains at railway stations in multiple languages for the user’s convenience. In this project, we will be using google text to speech and other audio libraries. The main aim of the project is to generate announcements software related to trains, the information in the audio consists of the name of the train, train route, platform number, etc.
Code Description & Execution
Before you execute
- Download and set ffmpeg software
- To download click here
1st step :
The downloaded files must be copied to program files -> new folder -> paste here ->(copy address)-> goto step
2nd step :
click on my pc-> right click-> properties -> advanced system settings-> environment variables -> path -> new -> past copied address as shown below
click on OK.
Restart your system
How to Execute?
So, before execution we have some pre-requisites that we need to download or install i.e., anaconda environment, python and a code editor. Anaconda: Anaconda is like a package of libraries and offers a great deal of information which allows a data engineer to create multiple environments and install required libraries easy and neat.
