I installed their self-hosted minic3 tts the other day to add a voice to my home assistant on prem smart home. It sounds unbelievably good compared to the picotts crap I was using before. Pretty stoked. Now I want to try getting the voice assistant hooked up too. https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/.

The key feature I haven't seen any of these opensource projects implement is microphone response coordination: If you have multiple microphones and speakers, which one responds? My google home's are terrible at this: often one in another room responds, but at least it's only one. When I tried to run Genie (https://genie.stanford.edu/) I had multiple devices responding simultaneously. It was a disaster. For me, this is the core feature that will enable me to swap out my corporate listening devices for an opensource, cloud-free alternative.

Google Cloud Speech API

Fair 'nuff... Though I was after a "even with an older model iPhone, and no net connection, there the ability to do speech to text (and even with some interesting transformations of "two by four"), it can be done locally." What's more... Consider https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/stt-engine > In order to provide an additional layer of privacy for our users, we proxy all STT requests through Mycroft's servers. This prevents Google's service from profiling Mycroft users or connecting voice recordings to their identities. If Mycoft goes offline or doesn't pay their STT bill ( https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text ), the device loses a bit of its functionality.

Killed by Google

Google to some degree can justify it better considering that Assistant is ALSO present in Android They need to have some sort of version existing to compete with Siri, and can also shoehorn integrations that wouldn't quite work for Amazon Were not for this[0] ever expanding page, Assistant seems like the more reliable option [0] https://killedbygoogle.com/.
