Ask HN: Best Smart Speaker and libraries for hacking
I’d like to build an audio life coach. Plays me a few things I find useful at different times of the day. If I’m out I would have it call my phone and talk to me.
I’m interested in: What smart speaker has great audio tech (ie microphone array) that I can use for my own apps.
What audio libraries are the best for doing speech recognition?
What are the best scheduling libraries that I can use to integrate all this together and have it add and remove things from a calendar, send emails, Eg ifttt type stuff.
I understand the answer is likely Google Home/Alexa for part of this, but I would very much prefer a solution where the processing runs on my hardware and doesn’t need to listen/send my audio to a third party.
