@badnetmask Getting the hardware, Wyoming etc can soon be replaced with our hardware. Then it’s “just” running and configuring local AI.

Super cool: NetworkChuck has done a video series in which he builds a voice assistant powered by @homeassistant. Powered fully by local AI, Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech. Open Source for the win 💪

GitHub keynote… ✅

Super great to be able to tell our story to GitHub Universe ‘24 and do on-stage real demos ❤️

It is important that voice assistants only listen when a user says the wake word, but this is not an easy task! To increase the accuracy of microWakeWord, we need recordings from people from all over the world saying wake words.

We created a website that allows you to help us by recording yourself with your phone or computer and contribute them to the collective. We're starting with one wake word, and are working with the community to decide which to add next.
