Fantastic.

Might use this with a Raspberry pi to set up some projects around the house. Is it possible to buy higher quality voice data ?

If you're interested in projects on a Pi then you might just be interested in this: https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy

It's from the same author.

I like rhasspy but the problem I have with it is that it's too much of a toolkit and less of an application. There's too many choices to pick for the different components.. I think they should pick one of each and really tune them so it works really well. This way they'd take a lot of complexity away from the user.

Agreed. I've at least added a "Recommended" option in the web UI that's language-specific.

Part of the problem is that language support varies dramatically between components. There's usually a pretty obvious "best" set for English, but it gets more difficult with other languages.
