I have made an interactive talking AI but it's not open source. It contains passwords/keys and tasks that are personal. But, a lot was learned while the code is nearly nothing. I spend many hours on research and didn't want to let it go to waste.

If you are interested in TTS / STT, this will be a nice resource: https://molodetz.nl/retoor/...

Side note: the builtin webkit TTS/STT engine is maybe even better and has a great API! Amazed by the quality of that thing.

This is python research. I hope that I can motivate someone but devRant is always empty on Saturday.

If someone needs help with an implementation regarding this, you know where to find me.

For people that don't want to suffer, i made a library with just two commands: tts and stt. It works with google, but you don't need to enter a key anywhere! How fantastic is that? It sucks. Try, and you'll find out why. I have no idea how they've build it.

Here it is with mini docs: https://molodetz.nl/retoor/rspeech

There are quite a few options, see the function parameters. Default, it's dutch and female. If you want English you can give both functions language="en-US" parameter.

Thanks :D

Doing bookkeeping this weekend but will look at it soon™️

@BordedDev cool, I hope you do. Just fixed a few bugs in it. It's very well tested because I use it 24/7.

@retoor Rocket's been dead for while :(

@BordedDev don't worry, I'm working on one and it goes fine. The first moment that you can register, login and chat I will deploy it. I also started irc on molodetz but decided it's too simple old fashioned, even for me. Normally I love terminal stuff but when it comes to chat - I want to share pictures with thumbnails site previews (site preview tech is done, what a work, wasted too much on that). Issue was a bit to get it working on alpine. It required some system packages. Playwright or selenium was also option but too heavy in my eyes for the app I want to make. But soon we'll be talking again 😁 And yes, after image sharing, I will implement notifications. Target is to make it installable, just like molodetz. It must also work great on phone and feel as decent as a native phone app. Sadly, frontend is not my strongest suite. But my sudoku widget felt decent with having the normal pointer instead of a cursor hovering the digits right? Not selectable div tiles.
