Ask HN: Speech recognition/synthesis witho Google?

3 points by NetOpWibby 11y ago

Hey everyone! I am interested in creating a digital assistant and would like to start with voice commands. However, it seems like every JS library I find is a wrapper of some sort for Google Chrome. I'd prefer not to rely on them for my project. Is there such a library or project that exists?

If you want to stay in JS, check out Pocketsphinx (http://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js/ http://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js/). If you can get outside JS, look at Sphinx or Kaldi. As an alternative, if you're on mobile, both Android and iOS have local recognizers.
