The only useful application of a speech-based assistant I saw was Alexa in the kitchen. A person had their hands full and said “set the timer to 15 minutes”. Saying stuff like “Alexa, dim the lights” is also very cool. I hope, Mozilla’s Common Voice Project leads to trained models for speech recognition which can be used off-line for things like the Mycroft FOSS assistant, maybe in combination with the Open Source Home Assistant automation platform.
Currently, I have to talk to my partner, who sadly isn’t named Alexa, when I want a similar effect. Maybe I can program the digital assistant to have their and my name as activation words so everything we say to each other which can be automated is triggered automatically. Or even stuff like “I am very cold, I wish it was warmer inside” triggering our smart thermostats to raise the temperature. Kind of like the SARAH AI in Eureka.

Sapphire Assistant is also an interesting one for Android, completely offline. Very early in development though iirc
interesting. I skimmed through their docs/reddit and don’t know what model they use. Just that they don’t use Google. Do you know?
Mozilla common voice license allow every Corp to use your voice Foss or not
yes, and?
It’s the same has google or alexa
