If you download Mycroft today, currently by default everything except the STT is running on the Pi. There are options to do this locally: https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customizations/stt-engine https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customiz... however they have their limitations. Before the Mark II ships in September, local STT will be available by default!

Thanks for jumping in here. > In order to provide an additional layer of privacy for our users, we proxy all STT requests through Mycroft's servers. This prevents Google's service from profiling Mycroft users or connecting voice recordings to their identities. Only the voice recording is sent to Google, no other identifying information is included in the request. Therefore Google's STT service does not know if an individual person is making thousands of requests, or if thousands of people are making a small number of requests each. Well, unless Google does voiceprint analysis. But Google wouldn't do that, would they? /s Beyond that, if I'm reading right, local STT will still require a separate STT server. It won't run on the Mark II itself, right?
