📢 Building a Voice Form with React 🎤

Nowadays, web forms play a crucial role in our everyday online activities. Whether you're booking airline tickets, searching for an apartment, or subscribing to updates on your favorite website, you often find yourself filling out forms. But what if there was a more convenient way to interact with forms? With the help of the Alan platform, you can easily transform your web forms into voice forms, providing users with a hands-free and effortless experience.

In this Tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building a voice form using React. We'll cover everything from setting up the necessary dependencies to capturing user inputs through voice commands. So let's dive in and discover the power of voice-enabled forms!

1. Introduction

In this section, we will provide an overview of the topic and explain the advantages of using voice forms in web applications. We'll explore how voice interactions can enhance the user experience and simplify the form-filling process.

2. Building a Voice Form with React

In this section, we will start building our voice form using React. We'll guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a simple React app and installing the required dependencies. You'll learn how to structure your app components and set up the necessary routing.

3. Installing Dependencies

Before we can start building our voice form, we need to install a few dependencies. In this section, we'll walk you through the installation process for React Router, React Hook Form, and other necessary packages.

4. Creating the React App

In this section, we'll create a basic React app to serve as the foundation for our voice form. We'll set up the initial file structure and create two step components using React Router.

5. Adding the Voice Assistant

To enable voice interactions in our form, we'll integrate the Alan voice assistant into our app. In this section, we'll guide you through the process of setting up a voice assistant in the Alan Studio and connecting it to our React app.

6. Opening the Form with Voice

Now that we have our voice assistant integrated, we'll enable users to open the form using voice commands. We'll define an intent and command in the Alan voice script, and update our app to handle the "open form" command.

7. Capturing the Location Name

In this section, we'll focus on capturing the user's desired location using voice input. We'll add an input and label for the location field in our form, and update our app to handle the "get location" command from the Alan voice script.

8. Setting the Check-in Date

To allow users to select their check-in date with voice input, we'll integrate a date picker component into our form. We'll install the necessary dependencies and set up the check-in date picker. Additionally, we'll update our app to handle the "set from date" command from the Alan voice script.

9. Setting the Checkout Date

Similar to the check-in date, we'll add a date picker component for the checkout date selection. We'll install the required dependencies and set up the checkout date picker. Additionally, we'll handle the "set to date" command from the Alan voice script in our app.

10. Selecting the Apartment Type

In this section, we'll enable users to select the type of apartment they're looking for using voice commands. We'll add a select control to our form for this purpose and define the available apartment types. We'll also update our app to handle the "set type" command from the Alan voice script.

11. Selecting the Checkbox Type

To provide users with the option to select checkbox inputs through voice commands, we'll add a checkbox control to our form. We'll define an intent in the Alan voice script and handle it in our app to set the value of the checkbox.

12. Submitting the Form with Voice

In this section, we'll allow users to submit the form with voice. We'll add a "start searching" intent in the Alan voice script, and define the logic for the submit handler in our app. We'll handle successful form submission, display entered data, and handle any errors in the form.

13. Improving the Voice Form

To enhance the user experience and make our voice form more user-friendly, we'll make a few improvements. We'll update the voice assistant's greeting and Prompt the user to fill in the form using voice. We'll also consider the form step and filter intents accordingly to prevent matching unrelated commands.

14. Filtering Intents by Form Step

To ensure that intents are only activated when the form is open, we'll leverage React's useLocation and visual state functionality. We'll add a useEffect hook to track the current page in our app and send this information to the voice script. This way, we can filter intents based on the current form step.

15. Greeting the User and Prompting for Voice Input

In this section, we'll make our voice assistant more engaging. We'll greet the user and remind them that the form can be filled in using voice. We'll add an onButtonStateChange handler to the Alan component and play a welcome message when the connection to the voice project is established.

16. Conclusion

In the final section, we'll Recap what we've learned throughout the tutorial and highlight the benefits of implementing voice forms in web applications. We'll encourage readers to explore the possibilities of voice interactions and provide additional resources for further learning.
