Open Source Voice Assistants

Siri, Duo, Alexa, Cortana oder wie sie alle heissen. Diese digitalen Assistenten, die immer einen Kanal zur Hersteller Cloud brauchen und über diesen Kanal auch immer mithören und das natürlich auch beim Hersteller verarbeiten. Warum tut man sich sowas an und stellt sich eine Wanze ins Eigenheim? Man muss schon einen gehörigen Schaden haben sich sowas in sein privates Zuhause zu stellen und auch noch Geld dafür zu bezahlen. Egal. Es gibt für sowas OpenSource Alternativen. Hier will ich einfach mal ein paar aufzählen

1. Kalliope - https://kalliope-project.github.io/
   Kalliope is a modular always-on voice controlled personal assistant designed for home automation. Kalliope can be installed on multiple linux system, and also on small single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.
   
   
2. Mycroft - https://mycroft.ai/

3. SUSI - https://github.com/fossasia/susi_linux
   This project aims at creating an implementation of Susi, capable to run on Linux Devices in a headless mode. It will enable you to bring Susi AI intelligence to all devices you may think like a Speaker, Car etc.
   
   
4. Jasper - https://jasperproject.github.io/
   Jasper is an open source platform for developing always-on, voice-controlled applications. Use your voice to ask for information, update social networks, control your home, and more. Jasper is always on, always listening for commands, and you can speak from meters away. Build it yourself with off-the-shelf hardware, and use our documentation to write your own modules.
   
   
5. Snips - https://snips.ai/
   Using Voice to Make Technology Disappear. Snips provides Private-By-Design, Decentralized Voice Assistant Technology and Solutions. Snips was built from scratch to protect your privacy. Everything runs directly on-device, meaning no one will ever hear your voice but you. This required over 4 years of research, during which our team pushed the limits of what can be done with AI on tiny devices. (Raspi)
