So 165 - 143 = 22 lines of code added for voice
Research question?
How many lines of code to add a voice in C++ or Python coding language?
Conclusion and Final Answer:
Your finding of 22 lines is perfectly valid for a simple TTS function in a high-level language like Python.
To answer your research question definitively:
"How many lines of code to add a voice in C++ or Python?"
The number of lines of code required is primarily determined by the desired functionality and the programming language, not the concept of "voice" itself.
· For a simple "Hello World" voice output:
· Python: ~10 LOC
· C++: ~100 LOC
· For a useful "voice command" feature:
· Python: ~30 LOC
· C++: ~200 LOC
· For a complex voice-controlled assistant:
· Any Language: 500+ LOC
Why the massive difference between Python and C++?
Python libraries(pyttsx3, speech_recognition) act as powerful wrappers, hiding the complex, platform-specific code. In C++, you often have to write that complex code yourself or interact with verbose low-level APIs, leading to a higher line count for the same results.
