This is exactly the kind of IoT I was hoping for. Not the bastardized corporate data-mining kind.

Hope this project keeps growing!

It uses speech to text from Google/MS/Facebook/IBM/SoundCloud with your API key

I wonder how easy it'd be to add support for Sphinx via Python's SpeechRecognition package...

Has anyone in this thread actually used this or looked at the code?

This outsources speech recognition, and then the natural language understanding is literally just keyword matching: https://github.com/SlapBot/stephanie-va/blob/master/modules....

This is about as technically interesting as the Jarvis this takes inspiration from.

There's nothing stopping you from using your own speech recognition software once someone makes an open-source platform/database for it.

It's a step in the right direction.
