YO. This is super-nice. Is anyone aware of people using this with bash shell scripts, which are my bread and butter?

Offhand, I can't think of why this should be too hard, if it generates JSON or whatnot I can set up a watch folder or something?

This was the reason I designed voice2json [1] :)

Yup, I remember seeing this as well. I'm trying to determine the major differences between Rhasspy and this?

Rhasspy is a more powerful general-purpose application and GUI; voice2json is more like a library or micro-service that does exactly one thing: convert a speech waveform to JSON. They share some DNA though (same syntax for defining vocabulary).

I used voice2json to build a voice-controlled car audio player, it works amazingly well: https://github.com/lukifer/voicetunes

They share a lot of the same pieces, but voice2json is meant to work in Unix-style pipelines. Rhasspy has MQTT/HTTP/Websocket APIs instead.

You can set Intent Handling to a local command (instead of Home Assistant in my example) [1]. I never tried that, but according to the docs you get JSON on stdin and output JSON on stdout. From that you should be able to hack in any pipeline you need.

I've written some Rhasspy bash scripts for managing timers, doing units conversions (for cooking), and interfacing with mpd for music control. see https://github.com/thinkingcow/homeassistant
