voicetunes VS learn

Here’s the solution I built for that, with a combination of on-device voice control, and a Bluetooth remote: https://github.com/lukifer/voicetunes

Something I’d still like to add is a USB OTG emulation of iOS/Android/iPod/etc, so that the currently playing track shows on the dash, steering wheel controls can be used, etc, but my last experimentation a couple years ago didn’t go anywhere. (All the open source stuff for emulating CarPlay and Android Auto seem to be for the other direction: the dash, not the device.)

Offline voice-controlled jukebox using RPi via Mopidy, and just pushed a branch with Mac support via iTunes/Music.app

I can vouch for Rhasspy, it's an amazing and flexible piece of software, though it does require some setup and tech knowledge (albeit with a usable web GUI); and it's very DIY on defining the actual voice commands. I recommend pairing it with Node-RED [0] for routing commands to devices, it has plugins for most things.

The only thing I struggled with was getting the wake-word config right: I could never find the right balance point where it responded every time, without also having annoying false positives, so I ended up turning it off. It does support multiple wake-word engines; I'm gonna have another go with Picovoice Porcupine now that they're opened up custom wake-word training for free.

I'm most heavily experienced with Rhasspy's sister project, voice2json [1], which I used to build a voice-controlled car jukebox [2], and it's been working fantastically. (It triggers from a Bluetooth remote, so no wake-word issues.)

For hardware, Raspberry 3/4 perform quite well, and strong recommend for ReSpeaker [3] for audio (either usb or 4-mic hat).

I don't have a way to find and curate audiobooks. Plus, LibGen books are already available on IPFS so all I need is collect links. I have been running https://learnawesome.org/ so books seemed far more approachable.

Fantastic! I'll have a deeper look and see if there's any opportunities for integrating this into https://learnawesome.org (which is also open-source).

I am building https://learnawesome.org

It's an attempt to organize world's knowledge. Right now, it looks like GoodReads-like social network for learning resources organized by topics, formats, difficulty levels etc. But there's a knowledge-graph that separates ideas and the medium those ideas are expressed in. For eg: "Sapiens - the book" and "TED Talk given by Yuval Harari" are connected to the same node.

This idea isn't anything new. Here is Danny Hillis talking about it at OSCON 2012: https://youtu.be/wKcZ8ozCah0

Perhaps https://learnawesome.org/.

I have been dealing with the same problem for curating resources at https://learnawesome.org. Projects like Openlibrary do collect unique identifiers for _books_, but for everything else, it mostly takes manual effort. For example, I collect talks/podcasts by the author where they discuss ideas from their books. Then there are summaries written by others.

This is a fantastic effort! Kudos :-)

I have been collecting learning resources and their reviews by experts at https://learnawesome.org/ (open-source, built with Ruby on Rails and TailwindCSS). Would you be kind enough to share the raw JSON files for their books?

LearnAwesome has its own topic taxonomy so it will still require tagging topics manually, but it can save me some effort on scraping/parsing LSE/Nature sites.

I have been adding a number of these free books at https://learnawesome.org/

Do you really care about the format being PDF or is it about the books being FREE? I'd like to make common queries like yours easier. LearnAwesome is open-source, so of course you're free to contribute: https://github.com/learn-awesome/learn
