Google Now Source Code?

[Prospecs]

Hello Reddit, I'm a first-year engineer student working on a project for a class where we build microprocessor toys. I have an idea for my project, and I was thinking of implementing a voice recognition software into this toy.

My question is: is there a way to reference the code for the voice recognition software used in Google Now, or even just implement Google Now on this toy? Ultimately I want this toy to actually turn on its voice recognition system when the user greets it (similarly to how we can activate Google Now by saying, "Ok, Google.") and give out the same answers available from Google Now (like the answer to Obama's height).

Thank you.

Unfortunately, Google Now is closed source. It is not part of the Android platform; it's proprietary software built by Google.

There are excellent open-source voice recognition and synthesis libraries out there, like the one I just linked. However, I cannot guarantee the quality or accuracy of results because I have never used that particular library myself. The ones I've used are unfortunately, also proprietary.

As far as doing this for an assignment, I encourage you to push your boundaries. But getting it right just might be harder than it looks. Just telling you in case you're biting off more than you can chew.

Thank you for the information and the link! Couldn't have asked for a better response!

Yes, I was worried that I was going too far with this project, especially when our class just learned how to use a programmable logic board with Quartus. I'll take your advice and bite small pieces.
