🚀[ENHANCEMENT] 🐞[BUG] Request for Resolving Performance Bugs and Adding User Interaction Enhancements in Nurturer Mindfulness Assistant

[Sanchita76]

✨ Enhancement Overview

Your code for the Nurturer project is a solid start, but there are some areas where performance and user experience could be improved. Here are some potential bugs and enhancements to consider:

## 💼 Current Behavior & 🚀 Proposed Changes
1. Speech Engine Initialization (Enhancement)
Issue: The speech engine is initialized every time the program runs, which can lead to delays when starting the speech.
Improvement: Move the engine = pyttsx3.init() line outside the speak function to initialize it only once during program startup.

2. Microphone Input (Bug)
Issue: The microphone is not being configured to adjust for ambient noise, which might lead to inaccuracies in voice recognition.
Improvement: Add recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source) before listening to improve recognition accuracy.

3.Sleep Duration in Exercises (Enhancement)
Issue: Using time.sleep() pauses the entire program and can make it feel unresponsive.
Improvement: Use a countdown mechanism with a non-blocking sleep, or provide users the option to control the duration.

4. User Feedback on Command Recognition (Enhancement)
Issue: There is no feedback if the user's command is recognized, which might lead to confusion.
Improvement: After recognizing a command, acknowledge it by repeating it back to the user before executing the corresponding function.

5. Error Handling in Speech Recognition (Enhancement)
Issue: If the speech recognition fails, the program will continue to loop without giving the user a chance to retry.
Improvement: Implement a retry mechanism after a recognition error, perhaps with a limit on retries.

6. Randomness in Mindfulness Reminders (Enhancement)
Issue: Users might find the same reminders repetitive after several sessions.
Improvement: Track the reminders already used in the session and exclude them from the random selection until all have been used.

7. Graceful Exit (Enhancement)
Issue: The program exits abruptly without giving the user a moment to process the exit message.
Improvement: Add a small delay before the program terminates to allow the exit message to be fully heard.
