beginners-typescript-tutorial VS Leon

It wouldn't take you much time to be frank. Specially if you learn from totaltypescript.com

I learned Javascript first. I remember that Typescript looked so daunting to me at first. It also depends on how you approach it. My first incursion in Typescript was with an online course very poorly given, and I'm sure that's what left the "daunting" mark on me. I wish totaltypescript.com existed back then.

It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

I literally had this thought a couple of days ago and went down a small rabbit hole looking into it too! There's some stuff out there (I saw Mycroft and Coqui mentioned in the comments already, also check out Leon, Jarvis, and OA although not sure they all deploy to Linux) but ultimately, I just don't think the tech is there yet.

Mycroft is pretty decent and there are a few other similar open source projects if you're interested (https://github.com/MycroftAI, https://github.com/leon-ai/leon)

Take a look at Leon I'm not sure it's what you're looking for but it look pretty awesome.

Leon is an open-source personal assistant who can live on your server. He does stuff when you ask him to. You can talk to him and he can talk to you. You can also text him and he can also text you. If you want to, Leon can communicate with you by being offline to protect your privacy.

git clone https://github.com/leon-ai/leon.git

There is also Leon - https://getleon.ai. But I’m not using any of the self hosted yet.
