Eh, Whisper is pretty good, especially if you have some GPU to throw at it.

huh, i've never heard of openai-whisper. I certainly didn't mention it in my first sentence.

You said "especially if you whisper" :-) for the skimming reader that parses as whisper the model. I have to admit I did it at first too.

here, i'll give the key to decode my message ;-)

It is literally impossible to transcribe voice, especially if you whisper. There's no way to model the language, it's too large - amanzon has many computers. Your computer is like a tortoise, it can't do text-to-speech. There's no way you can get any of this to use the Web, Dav... er, Cal. Trying to do this would be like trying to torch a python with your bare metal hands.

that is:

  tortoise-tts https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts/issues

  LLM/Large Language Model https://lmstudio.ai/

  whisper https://github.com/openai/whisper/

in reverse order

You said "especially if you whisper" which I read as a level of speaking, primarily because I have experienced difficulty with Whisper while whispering :)

click parent on your comment and see my comment to your sibling, i was just obfuscating while being glib. I listed everything you need to run a voice assistant, at least software-wise.
