I'd really love something that enabled me to use the hardware without Home Assistant. I know it's OSS (basically ESPhome), but I'd like a server I could point my Voice thing to and be able to receive a webhook with the text I just spoke, and have it read the text that my server returns out loud.

I'd implement the actual smarts myself, I just want the STT/TTS interface sorted.

Home Assistant uses the Wyoming protocol to talk to Whisper, Piper, and the various other components of the speech pipeline. Might be something to check out?

This subproject looks interesting too

Yep, I had seen that but I didn't go deeper than that. I'll have another look, thanks!
