🎯 Real-Time Face Detection with Age, Gender & Speech Recognition (Desktop App)

This Python desktop application uses your webcam to detect human faces in real-time and predicts their age and gender using deep learning models. It also supports speech recognition, capturing spoken text in the background.

---

📦 Features

✅ Real-time face detection using OpenCV DNN
✅ Accurate age and gender prediction using pre-trained Caffe models
✅ Live speech-to-text recognition via microphone input
✅ Threading support for simultaneous video and audio processing
✅ Modern Tkinter GUI for desktop experience
✅ Optionally build a .exe using PyInstaller

🔧 Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-username/face-age-gender-recognition.git
cd face-age-gender-recognition

2. Create a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended)

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate   # On Windows

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download Pre-trained Models

Ensure the following models are inside the /models folder:

• Face detection: deploy.prototxt, res10_300x300_ssd_iter_140000.caffemodel
• Age prediction: age_deploy.prototxt, age_net.caffemodel
• Gender prediction: gender_deploy.prototxt, gender_net.caffemodel

---

▶️ Run the App

python desktop_app.py

The GUI window will open. Click Start Camera to begin.

---

🛠 Build Executable (Optional)

Using PyInstaller:

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole desktop_app.py

The .exe will be created inside the dist/ directory.

---

📌 Notes

• Make sure your camera and microphone are accessible.
• Age ranges are approximated based on pre-trained model output.
• Internet is required for speech recognition (Google Speech API).
