When Amazon first came out with Alexa the voice recognition capabilities were amazing and, when combined with the ability to control household appliances, really useful. Unfortunately, it doesn't really seem to have advanced much since.
Does anyone have good experience with possible replacements?
@Coctaanatis This runs locally, preserves privacy. Software is open source and the hardware is not proprietary. It'll work with Alexa or a DIY voice assistant.
