  • whisper

    Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision

  • I've been thinking about wiring up whisper[0], mozilla's tts[1] and gpt-3 together to make a voice assistant of sorts. Wouldn't have the access to device hardware and no guarantees of correct answers, but should blow siri etc out of the water in terms of understanding the context.

    [0] https://github.com/openai/whisper

  • mycroft-core

    Mycroft Core, the Mycroft Artificial Intelligence platform.

  • It's incredibly easy to do (caveat - at least if you're familiar with software dev already).

    Most thermostats are literally just digital thermometers that control a relay that turns the furnace/ac on and off.

    A simple arduino (or much cheaper IC) can easily do the same thing if you wire it in.

    And then on the software side... there's several large, open-source projects that exist in this space and provide nice api tooling for interacting with those devices. Things like:

    OpenHab: https://www.openhab.org/

    HomeAssistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/

    HomeBridge: https://homebridge.io/

    etc...

    Even Alexa has basically drop-in self hosted alternatives like Mycroft: https://mycroft.ai/ or ADA/Almomd (now Genie) https://genie.stanford.edu/

    It's not only true - I strongly suspect you can do it for much less than 50 bucks if you don't need the physical thermostat to have buttons/screens.

  • TTS

    :robot: :speech_balloon: Deep learning for Text to Speech (Discussion forum: https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/tts) (by mozilla)

  • vosk-browser

    A speech recognition library running in the browser thanks to a WebAssembly build of Vosk

  • Not the OP but I've been tinkering with the same concept (24/7 processing).

    'm using vosk browser: https://github.com/ccoreilly/vosk-browser

    To do speech to text locally and it works very well for English.

  • haven

    Haven is for people who need a way to protect their personal spaces and possessions without compromising their own privacy, through an Android app and on-device sensors

  • Even better is something like the Guardian Project's Haven(https://github.com/guardianproject/haven) which IIRC Snowden contributed to.

    It's incredibly cost-effective to just buy an old Android phone (which comes integrated with multiple microphones, with good signal processing and noise cancellation), instead of building it with components.

    Haven is specifically designed for intrusion detection, and for preventing people from tampering with your laptop for instance by detecting activity on the Android phone's sensors.

  • eardrum

    24/7 background audio recording for Android

  • Here's a 24/7 background audio recorder app I made for Android. The impact on battery and storage is surprisingly reasonable.
