To accomplish this task, we can use the speech_recognition module in Python to capture audio from the microphone and the os module to execute commands. First, you need to install the speech_recognition module if you haven’t already. You can install it using pip:

pip install SpeechRecognition

Next, we'll create a Python script that listens to the microphone input, converts it to text using speech recognition, and then either prints the text or runs the command if the input matches a predefined keyword.

Here's the Python code:

import speech_recognition as sr
import os

# Function to convert speech to text
def speech_to_text():
recognizer = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
print("Listening...")
recognizer.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
audio = recognizer.listen(source)

try:
text = recognizer.recognize_google(audio)
return text.lower()
except sr.UnknownValueError:
print("Sorry, could not understand audio.")
except sr.RequestError as e:
print(f"Error with the speech recognition service; {e}")

return None

# Main function to handle user input and commands
def main():
while True:
input_text = speech_to_text()
if input_text:
print("You said:", input_text)
if input_text == "quit":
print("Exiting the program...")
break
else:
# Check for predefined commands here
if input_text == "run calculator":
os.system("calc") # Run calculator on Windows
elif input_text == "open browser":
os.system("start \"\" https://www.google.com") # Open browser on Windows
elif input_text == "open terminal":
os.system("gnome-terminal &") # Open terminal on Linux (for example, using GNOME)
# Add more commands as needed

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Please note that this code is a simple example, and you can extend it to add more commands and customize it according to your needs. Make sure you have a working microphone connected to your computer, and you can modify the predefined commands to execute different actions based on the user’s voice input.

Thanks for @vimaldagasir for approaching me.
