<p>It is our vision to make open, local, and private voice assistants a reality in any language.
|
||
While we have made great strides in realizing this, it is such a massive undertaking that we
|
||
need our worldwide community to participate in its development. An essential ingredient for the
|
||
community to drive the project forward is a standardized hardware platform for voice, built for
|
||
Home Assistant from the ground up: Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition.</p>
|
||
<p>While for some, the
|
||
current state of our voice assistant may be all they need, we think there is still more to do
|
||
before it is ready for every home in every country, and until then, we’ll be selling this
|
||
Preview of the future of voice assistants. Taking back our privacy isn’t for everyone - it’s a
|
||
journey - and we want as many people as possible to join us and make it better.</p>

||
<p>Yes, provided your language is supported and you have hardware powerful enough to run local
|
||
text-to-speech and speech-to-text models at a speed that is acceptable to you. Speech-to-text is
|
||
the main limiting factor for many languages to run locally, as it has mixed results and often
|
||
requires powerful hardware.</p>
|
||
<p>We recommend using at least an Intel N100 or equivalent processor;
|
||
this will allow you to use OpenAI’s Whisper Base model for speech-to-text locally. This model
|
||
runs reasonably fast for languages that have large public datasets to train on, such as English
|
||
and Spanish. However, for languages with less data available, you will need Whisper’s Small or
|
||
Large models that require significantly more powerful hardware to run. For some languages, no
|
||
public datasets exist yet for local models to be trained on by OpenAI, and until they exist and
|
||
they train models, you will not be able to run those languages fully locally.</p>

<p>You do not need Home Assistant Cloud. However, if you are running less powerful hardware, like
|

Home Assistant Green or a Raspberry Pi 4, we believe this provides the best experience. By doing
|
||
so, you can leverage our cloud for speech processing, ensuring superior accuracy and faster
|

performance not possible on your low-powered device.</p>
|

<p>Additionally, some languages have poor or

non-existent support by the local speech-to-text software we leverage (OpenAI’s Whisper), but

are well-supported by the speech processing used by Home Assistant Cloud.</p>

local speech-to-text models must be available to turn what is said into text commands that can
|
||
be sent to Home Assistant. Home Assistant then needs to have sentence support for that language,
|
||
so it knows which actions to perform for each command.</p>
|
||
<p>Finally, a local text-to-speech model has
|
||
to be available for your language, so it can reply to you. If any of these three parts are not
|
||
available locally, your language is not yet supported. Currently, there is one part that holds
|
||
back our language support more than the others, and that’s local speech-to-text.</p>

<p>Yes, Home Assistant can be configured to use any speech-to-text integration that supports the
|
||
Wyoming protocol. Currently, the only locally-run speech-to-text add-on available for Home
|
||
Assistant users is OpenAI’s Whisper. This has mixed results, missing languages, and is
|
||
hardware-intensive.</p>
|
||
<p>That led us to build an alternative - <a href="https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy-speech"
|
||
target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rhasspy Speech</a> can run locally and
|
||
accurately on lower-power hardware, though this does not provide full speech-to-text
|
||
capabilities. Based on the Rhasspy project, it is able to create local speech-to-text models,
|
||
but is limited to predefined sentences aimed at controlling your home, and will not be able to
|
||
process general speech. For instance, it could turn on a device, but will not be able to add
|
||
something to your shopping list. We expect to share the first version of Rhasspy Speech during
|
||
the next Voice livestream in 2025.</p>

<p>Out of the box, the device can listen for “Okay Nabu,” “Hey Jarvis,” or “Hey Mycroft” as wake

words. This is provided by the on-device wake word engine called microWakeWord. Creating these

most users.</p>

<p>A wake word should be uncommon in everyday conversations at home or in media, such as music or

TV, to minimize the risk of the device activating unintentionally. “Nabu”, “Jarvis”, and

“Mycroft” are fairly unique words, as opposed to generic terms such as “computer” or “assist”.

That makes these microWakeWord models perform well for most users.</p>

this Preview Edition can not yet do everything those devices can. For some, the current

<p>Yes, if you plug an external speaker into the 3.5mm audio port. The built-in speaker is meant for

<p>Yes, if you have paid access to a supported cloud LLM or have a local LLM running on suitable
|
||
hardware, it is possible to either fully replace our voice assistant’s conversation agent with an
|
||
LLM or use it as a fallback for commands that Home Assistant does not understand natively.</p>

<p>The benefit of this is being able to ask nearly any query that comes to mind, and speak commands

in natural language. Just note, we consider the use of AI in the smart home to be <a
