Shoot Mycroft got shut down? I remember looking into it a bit ago and filing that away as a future project, rip. I know Homeassistant also has one now too
I be been fiddling with home assistants voice thing a bit and like wvwry4hing home assistant the process has been frustrating and bordering on Kafkaesque. I bought these atom echo things they recommend which don’t seem to make the best google home replacements, and in struggling to figure out how to get home assistant to pipe the sound out of another device, thereby making them useful.
Admittedly this may be simpler if all I was looking to do is say things and have stuff happen in a default voice model, but I fine tuned my own RTS voice model(s) and am looking to be able to use them for controlling homeass as well as for general inference when i feel like it.
I’ve spent some tim3, not a lot but some, trying to find out what devices can be m2dia players and under what conditions and how (or whether) you can use esp home to pipe audio through the media player / use USB mics as microphones for the voice stuff.
I’m kind of at a loss as far as understanding what the actual intention was for homeless’ year of the voice, so I’ve be3n thinking that maybe offloading some of my goals to a container or VM on TNT server running homeless on proxmox may be a better path forward. I came across this post just in time it seems.
This seems unnecessary and cool.
Very necessary, I very much want to be rid of Okay Google but open-source alternatives like Mycroft keep getting shut down.

Are you on Linux Mobile perchance? What I assume is your digital keyboard has really bad touch heuristics.
Oh yeah the keyboard is awful.
But it doesn’t spy on me so. Everyone else gets to suffer.
Why are they shut down?
Money
Fighting a patent troll killed them
Mycroft as a company got shut down but there is OpenVoiceOS and neon both working with Mycroft mk2 hardware and home assistant
Use home assistant.
For accessibility maybe
Accessibility definitely needs more love, it’s an afterthought in most cases, at best.
We all benefit when accessibility tech is pushed forward. Not that we should need extra motivation to better the lives of the few.
I mean if it would improve the accessibility of linux (as in for people with disabilities, not non linux users) then it would be necessary and cool.
