7. Refer to the DOCS page (https://voiceit.io/devDocs) for more info

STEP 3: Once this is done, download the three python files given (plotting.py, security.py and voiceit.py)

STEP 4: Next we need to install the face recognition package DLIB which requires Visual studio 2014 and all C++ packages to be installed along with it

STEP 5: Once this is done, go to the terminal and pip install face_recognition

STEP 6: Packages to be pip installed are:

1. Face recognition : pip install face_recognition
2. Twilio : pip install twilio
3. Pyaudio : pip install pyaudio
4. Pyttsx : pip install pyttsx

STEP 7: After all the necessary packages are installed, run the file (plotting.py)

STEP 8: After running do not show your face in front of the camera, until the system prompts you through voice

STEP 9: Once prompted you can show your face in front of the camera and the system will provide you with voice prompts regarding next steps

STEP 10: Steps prompted during running the program

1. Prompt to show your face in front of the camera.
2. If face detected voice authentication prompt given.
3. If face not detected, message about unknown person trying to enter is sent to the users registered mobile number.
4. System prompts voice phrases to be mentioned by the user for voice authentication
5. If Voice authentication successful, Message that user can enter the house is prompted
