I'm not looking for STT->AI ->TTS, I'm looking for truly good voice-to-text experience* on Linux (and others). Siri/iOS-Dictation is truly good when it comes to understanding the speech. Something this level on Linux (and others) would be great, yeah always listening, maybe sending the data somewhere, but give me UX - hidden latency, optimizing for first chars recognized - a good (virtual) input device.
I’m a bit confused by what you’re offering. Is it a voice assistant / AI as described on your GitHub? Or is it more general purpose / LLM ? How does the RAG fit in, a voice-to-RAG seems a bit random as a feature? I don’t mean to come across as dismissive, I’m genuinely confused as to what you’re offering.
Seems pretty clear. You can supply documents to the model as input and then verbally ask questions about them.
I was curious so I did some more research within the company to find more shady stuff going on like intentionally buying new domains a month prior to send that spam to not have the mail reputation of their website down. You can read my comment here[2]
Just to be on the safe side here, @dang (yes pinging doesn't work but still), can you give us some average stats of who are the people who upvoted this and an internal investigation if botting was done. I can be wrong about it and I don't ever mean to harm any company but I can't in good faith understand this. Some stats
Some stats I would want are: Average Karma/Words written/Date of the accounts who upvoted this post. I'd also like to know what the conclusion of internal investigation (might be) if one takes place.
[There is a bit of conflicts of interest with this being a YC product but I think that I trust hackernews moderator and dang to do what's right yeah]
I am just skeptical, that's all, and this is my opinion. I just want to provide some historical context into this company and I hope that I am not extrapolating too much.
It's just really strange to me, that's all.

they are a company that registers domains similar to their main one, and then uses those domains to spam people they scrape off of github without affecting their main domain reputation.

this comment, at this time, has 23 upvotes yet is below 2 grey comments (i.e. <=0 upvotes) that were posted at roughly the same time (1 before, 1 after) -- strong evidence of artificial ordering by the moderators. gross.

Maybe its just (n=2) that only we both remember this fiasco but I don't agree with that. I don't really understand how this got so so many upvotes in short frame of time especially given its history of not doing good things to say the very least... I am especially skeptical of it.
Thoughts?
Edit: I looked deeper into Sanchit's Hackernews id to find 3 days ago they posted the same thing as far as I can tell (the difference only being that it had runanywhere.ai domain than github.com/runanywhere but this can very well be because in hackernews you can't have two same links in small period of time so they are definitely skirting that law by pasting github link)
Another point, that post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47283498) got stuck at 5 points till right now (at time of writing)
So this got a lot more crazier now which is actually wild.

Yup. The most crazy aspect was that they had bought the domain intentionally (just 1 month prior) that whole fiasco.

what i do know is that their name is etched into my mind under the category of "shady, never do business with them".
Wow, this is such a cool tool, and love the blog post. Latency is killer in the STT-LLM-TTS pipeline. Before I install, is there any telemetry enabled here or is this entirely local by default?
