vosk-api VS Leon

So I don't know if my issue comes from my lack of knowledge of discord.js/voice or VOSK. so I guess the most important thing I need to see is if I am creating a proper stream for the Vosk API to capture the audio. if I can figure out how to capture an audio stream I can probably import that in to vosk and figure out how to use vosk myself. but right now I can't even get close! Thank you in advance...Sorry if this isn't the right place for this

I remember a while ago checking out the issues with Vosk speech recognition (written in C). A handful of it's issues are related to segfaults and null pointers.

first, good initiative! thanks for sharing. i think you gotta be more diligent and careful with the problem statement.

checking the weather in Sofia, Bulgaria requires cloud, current information. it's not "random speech". ESP SR capability issues don't mean that you cannot process it locally.

the comment was on "voice processing" i.e. sending speech to the cloud, not sending a call request to get the weather information.

besides, local intent detection, beyond 400 commands, there are great local STT options, working better than most cloud STTs for "random speech"

I did a one-off text to speech tool for someone last year and had pretty good results with VOSK. One upside is that it works offline, although I imagine if you use TTS a lot you'll notice issues I didn't.

You can use vosk-api (https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api) to listen to your audio, transform it to text, and then post the text to GPT-3, then using the vector sdk, have your responses said by vector.

The set up script wants to download https://github.com/alphacep/vosk-api/releases/download/v0.3.45/vosk-model-en-v0.3.45.zip, but this resource is not found. AFAICT all releases never contained a model file. Remedy: hardcode one model from https://alphacephei.com/vosk/models. I guessed and picked the one with the closest name, vosk-model-en-us-0.22.zip, just so I could continue.

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.

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