compliment-inator

Simple Face Recognition Program that compliments you each time it sees you on webcam!

Open source project made by Jakub Podolak, based on face_recognition module and gTTS. I suggest going through those libraries first, to get familiar with them and install all required stuff.

What is it?

This is very simple - face_finder.py uses face_recognition module to detect your face, saves your name to log file, from which another program: sayer.py can take it, and synthesize a compliment (or any other text) for you!

How to get it working?

0. Install all needed libraries:

gtts
playsound
configparser
face_recognition
cv2
numpy

1. Download all files from this repository
2. Add your photo with .jpg extension, e.g. myface.jpg
3. Specify it in config_face.ini file in [FACES] section like this:

myName = myface.jpg  
Thomas = thomas_photo.jpg

4. Add your text (currently only one sentence for each person) in config_sayer.ini in [SAYINGS] section like this:

myName = My text that will be synthesized
Thomas = You looking good, Thomas!

5. Tinker with additional settings specified in both config files
6. Run two programs with ./RUN.sh command
