Porcupine   VS DeepSpeech

I call it DaVinci. DaVinci uses Picovoice (https://picovoice.ai/) solutions for wake word and voice activity detection and for converting speech to text, Amazon Polly to convert its responses into a natural sounding voice, and OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 to do the heavy lifting. It’s all contained in about 300 lines of Python code.

Download pre-trained models: "Porcupine" from Porcupine Wake Word and Video Player Context from Rhino Speech-to-Intent repositories - You can also train a custom models on Picovoice Console.

Below are some useful resources: Open-source code Picovoice Platform SDK Picovoice website

Download the Porcupine model and turn the binary model into a base64 string.

Download Porcupine (i.e. Deep Neural Network). Run the following to turn the binary model into a base64 string, from the project folder.

Porcupine SDK Porcupine SDK is on GitHub. Find libraries for supported MCUs on the Porcupine GitHub repository. Arduino libraries are available via a specialized package manager offered by Arduino.

I sometimes see the term "end-to-end", and it always passes right by my ears as marketing jargon. For example, there was a recent post today that linked to this page: https://picovoice.ai/, and you'll find the statement "... end-to-end platform for adding voice to anything on your terms". I did a quick Google search and it seems like the term is used in many different contexts (e.g., encryption, enterprise software for product development, etc.), but to be honest, I'm just not getting it. Maybe someone can explain here within the realm of embedded software? Could you provide some examples as well?

As I understand it DeepSpeech is no longer actively maintained by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/issues/3693

For Text To Speech, I've found Piper TTS useful (for situations where "quality"=="realistic"/"natual"): https://github.com/rhasspy/piper

For Speech to Text (which AIUI DeepSpeech provided), I've had some success with Vosk: https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api

- [DeepSpeech](https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech) rather than Whisper for offline speech-to-text

I came across a very interesting [project]( (4) Mckay Wrigley on Twitter: "My goal is to (hopefully!) add my house to the dataset over time so that I have an indoor assistant with knowledge of my surroundings. It’s basically just a slow process of building a good enough dataset. I hacked this together for 2 reasons: 1) It was fun, and I wanted to…" / X ) made by Mckay Wrigley and I was wondering what's the easiest way to implement it using free, open-source software. Here's what he used originally, followed by some open source candidates I'm considering but would love feedback and advice before starting: Original Tools: - YoloV8 does the heavy lifting with the object detection - OpenAI Whisper handles voice - GPT-4 handles the “AI” - Google Custom Search Engine handles web browsing - MacOS/iOS handles streaming the video from my iPhone to my Mac - Python for the rest Open Source Alternatives: - [ OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) instead of YoloV8 for computer vision and object detection - Replacing GPT-4 is still a challenge as I know there are some good open-source LLms like Llama 2, but I don't know how to apply this in the code perhaps in the form of api - [DeepSpeech](https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech) rather than Whisper for offline speech-to-text - [Coqui TTS](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS) instead of Whisper for text-to-speech - Browser automation with [Selenium](https://www.selenium.dev/) instead of Google Custom Search - Stream video from phone via RTSP instead of iOS integration - Python for rest of code I'm new to working with tools like OpenCV, DeepSpeech, etc so would love any advice on the best way to replicate the original project in an open source way before I dive in. Are there any good guides or better resources out there? What are some pitfalls to avoid? Any help is much appreciated!

If you're not afraid to get a little technical, you could take a look at mozilla/DeepSpeech (installation & usage docs here).

There is a lot of TTS and SST development going on (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS; https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech; https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice). That is the only way they work: Contributions from the wild.
