- ThinkingGuy 9y agoI've longed for this as well. In theory it can be done. The individual ingredients are all available in the universe of FOSS software... speech to text (CMU Sphinx, etc), language parsing (NTLK, etc), IoT integration, etc. But assembling all these components and frameworks into an integrated, reliably-working system takes a great deal of time and effort, even if you're a skilled programmer (which I'm not).

I'd love to buy one as I love the idea of a device like this that serves me, not the manufacturer. The main thing stopping me is in line with other comments in general: After a few days, when the novelty wears off, I'll have no use for it.
