  • selene-backend

    Microservices and web apps to support Mycroft devices

  • ovos-personal-backend

    personal backend - self-hosted backend to manage multiple OVOS devices

  • vosk-api

    Offline speech recognition API for Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi and servers with Python, Java, C# and Node

  • They might be interested in integrating Vosk, it's a speech-to-text engine that is just a shared library (.so file on Linux) and comes with API support for a variety of languages:

    Still, I've found that the Big players have much better recognition models, and the post-processing that I assume they do (grammatical, maybe syntactical inferences that improve the end result) are probably much more powerful too.

  • jasper-client

    Client code for Jasper voice computing platform

  • ProjectAlice

    Project Alice is a smart voice home assistant that is completely modular and extensible.

  • https://github.com/project-alice-assistant/ProjectAlice

    It is self hosted, offline by default, with options to use various ASR and TTS engines, some online, depending on your own privacy, performance or quality choices. It's quite mature and the maintainers are aiming for a 1 0.0 version release. I have been running it as the primary voice interface to my home automation system for years.

    As someone else said elsewhere, there are a few assistants around now. Perhaps there is some benefit for sharing of resources too, as all struggle for contributors.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
