This has been my dream since I was a teen - and now the tech is real. This is a fork of an existing speech-to-speech project by Huggingface, with a lot of additions to add the right chimes, the voice* and the overall wakeword architecture.
I’ve had it running for a day and … I like it. I’ll most likely wire up a version of this throughout the house so the whole family can live the trekkie life :)
*) Cloning Barrett’s voice … I know. It’s just little old me showing that we now have the tech, not some commercial venture. It’s done with the utmost of respect for her craft throughout all those years!
Circa 2009-2010 there was a desktop overlay theme for Windows XP that I think was called System47. It was super basic, a LCARS overlay that let you access basic apps and info. It included a voice command which you could open apps or perform certain functions.
