    Home Assistant [1] can be a voice assistant (both on phone and on dedicated devices). It's FOSS and can be fully local [2]. It's really gear towards home automation though, so its …

    Labelling people as haters (or fanboys, for that matter) is just another way of dismissing people.

    Users know to expect different things at different speeds, and have come to expect the actual "buy" button to be slow. 200ms is pretty fast for that, tbf

    You could, but there's two big reasons why this isn't useful: 1. The translation system would still have to implement the underlying ideas. For example, your spec might explain "ke…
