I’ve had my days with Siri and Google Assistant. While they have the ability to control your devices, they cannot be customized and inherently rely on cloud services. In hopes of learning something new and having something cool I could use in my life, I decided I want better.
The premises are simple:
I want my new assistant to be sassy and sarcastic.
I want everything running local. No exceptions. There is no reason for my coffee machine downstairs to talk to a server on the other side of the country.
Cool post. Thanks. What hardware do you use for voice input/output? I hoped I could use a smart speaker from Sonos, or something similar. But I could not find a working solution and I have no time or interest in building hardware myself. The idea is having a wake word and mics/speakers in the different rooms. Ideally with voice recognition (i mean who is speaking). So I can ask something like: play my favourit music
Check out onju voice!
