Wow! That's an impressive list of new features! The combination of #HomeAssistant support and #Mimic3 is exciting! Just what I need at my house... 🤔

Ce week-end, je me suis amusé sur mon poste avec #mycroft et #mimic3 (text to speech) en français. Bon, on va pas se mentir, ce n'est pas parfait mais j'arrive à interroger wikipedia et lancer des musiques sur spotify. La prochaine étape est de changer le "wakeword" puis peut etre la partie "speech to text" qui est encore celui de google indirectement. Le plus bizarre / marrant est la lecture de mot anglais en français 🥖

I'm looking through the #Mimic3 voices for #MyCroft on the mycroft.ai website, and it's vast. There's so many languages and accents to find. What I find odd, though, is that German language speech synthesizer has emotions on it. The system can speak in a drunken, sleepy, or amused tone. We have truly come a long way with this technology. (BTW, no one needs to tell me about the origins of these samples.) #TextToSpeech #TTS

#Linux and #Python available? Then let us have some fun with #Mimic3 #TTS Text-To-Speech #AI.

>> cd mimic3
# recommended: Python virtualenv for the mimic3 directory
>> pip3 install mycroft-mimic3-tts[all]
>> mimic3 'Hi. Do you have Linux and Python available? Then let us have some fun with Text-To-Speech.' | aplay

SEPIA #OpenAssistant v2.7.0 has been released earlier this month ✌️🤖 and comes with a theme editor to build custom skins 🖌️🎨 long awaited support for #HomeAssistant to control your #smarthome 🗣️🏠💡 the ability to swap #speechrecognition models on-the-fly, support for #Mimic3 #TTS and much more!

Haha, this move from #Mycroft showcasing the new #Mimic3 voice-tech is kind of funny 😄 https://youtu.be/KWw9LKSfAq0

And, of course, it's #OpenSource😎

I've seen some pretty nifty #homelab network maps on here, I need to get around to making something like that.

I'm kind of addicted to spinning up and hosting cool and useful services in #Docker at home (and/or on a #VPS).

Here are a few of them I use on a regular basis:

• #AudioBookshelf (audiobook server)
• #BoringProxy (reverse proxy and tunnel manager)
• #CalibreWeb (ebook server)
• #croc relay (file transfer utility)
• #EternalJukebox (your favorite song ∞)
• #glauth (LDAP server with 2FA)
• #MIMIC3 (TTS engine)
• #mirotalk (WebRTC video conferencing)
• #nitter (Twitter frontend/proxy)
• #Photoprism (photo gallery)
• #pihole with #dnscrypt (DNS-based adblocker)
• #Plex (media server)
• #PodGrab (podcast server)
• #PretendYoureXyzzy (Cards Against Humanity clone)
• #StepCA (certificate authority)
• #TransmissionOpenVPN (Transmission torrent client and OpenVPN in Docker)
• #UptimeKuma (service monitoring tool)
• #VaultWarden (BitWarden-compatible server)
• #WireGuard (VPN)

Anything super nifty y'all think I'm missing?

@oss Yea, not to go into complete shill mode here (I am a fan though, so no promises) the software is currently available on GitHub (https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core), and I've had a lot of success just basically running it on anything I try. Even got it to work on my #PinePhone. It's also been integrated with the new KDE Plasma Bigscreen for the voice control aspects.

If you want to test it out, it runs on as little as a Pi3, though you can't really get the #Mimic3 with that.

@mahmoudajawad Hardware wise, they've been abysmally slow. Software wise, they've been OK. They've recently put out #Mimic3, which is really good actually. It's separate from #Mycroft, so it can be used for pretty much anything, and its quality is up there with any TTS solution I've heard running on a local machine.

Ooo, installed #Mimic3 in my #WSL #Ubuntu, and configured my new #Mycroft instance to use it. Works beautifully. I wonder if I can get all this running on the #SteamDeck when it comes in. It's #Arch after all, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

@fsf Beyond donations, how can we support free software? #fsf #mimic3

Hey Mycroft community, what platform would you like us to host an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with #mimic3 maker, Mike Hansen?

We had over 1000 downloads of #mimic3 on the first day :dab:

We want to know what you guys are creating with it :badabing: Let us know!

#Mimic3 supports over 25 languages, new models trained in a week, needs only 70 MB install space, and works offline 😏

Have a look: https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/

A fun and slightly weird introductory video of #Mimic3 by #Mycroft. Watched it last night with my wife. Her reaction was, "WTF was that?" Not inappropriate, but still funny.
