Does Mycroft need a network connection for voice recognition to work? I wasn't able to conclusively tell from a quick scan of their website but their Get Started document[1] says "Mycroft devices need to be paired with your Mycroft Home account to work", which sounds like it does.
I had been intending to do something similar to you, but using Snips[2] since it supposedly has on-device voice recognition (and use of Rust, which I like).

- Vendan 7y agoThe Mycroft Home stuff covers Google Speech to Text, so I'm betting that overall speech processing is done in the cloud, though I'm sure wake-word detection is done locally. https://mycroft.ai/documentation/home-mycroft-ai-pairing/ https://mycroft.ai/documentation/home-mycroft-ai-pairing/
- Havoc 7y agoYeah - but not google - they switched to mozilla deepspeech. You can run deepspeech locally, but needs something reasonably powerful
- Havoc 7y agoYeah it uses a mozilla cloud speech api. I gather one can run it locally though (Deepspeech). So not too worried about this aspect.
