Whisper
Robust Speech Recognition via Large-Scale Weak Supervision
OpenAI Whisper is a general-purpose speech recognition model. It is trained on a large dataset of diverse audio and is also a multitasking model that can perform multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, and language identification. A Transformer sequence-to-sequence model is trained on various speech processing tasks, including multilingual speech recognition, speech translation, spoken language identification, and voice activity detection. These tasks are jointly represented as a sequence of tokens to be predicted by the decoder, allowing a single model to replace many stages of a traditional speech-processing pipeline. The multitask training format uses a set of special tokens that serve as task specifiers or classification targets. -

Handy STT
A free, open source, and extensible speech-to-text application
Handy is a free, open-source, offline speech-to-text application built for privacy, accessibility, and extensibility. Developed using Tauri (Rust + React/TypeScript), it runs natively across Windows, macOS, and Linux while performing local speech recognition without sending any audio to cloud servers. Handy allows users to start transcription instantly using a configurable keyboard shortcut—press to record, release to transcribe—and automatically pastes the resulting text into any active text field. Its backend leverages OpenAI’s Whisper models for GPU-accelerated speech recognition and Parakeet V3 for efficient CPU-only transcription with automatic language detection. To further refine accuracy and responsiveness, Handy integrates Silero’s Voice Activity Detection (VAD) for silence filtering, ensuring only speech segments are processed. -

Conversations
App in java for chatting to a generative A.I. (involving tts and stt)
Java application for chatting to generative AI Llama3. * The user can speak into the microphone (speechToText), edit the recognized text and send it to the AI. * The AI responds and the server returns that response in real time, and the sentences converted to audio (textToSpeech), and the application broadcasts them through the speaker. The application is prepared so that only one user occupies the server's resources, so if the server is busy, in theory it will not let you connect. There is a demo video that shows how it works: https://frojasg1.com:8443/resource_counter/resourceCounter?operation=countAndForward&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffrojasg1.com%2Fdemos%2Faplicaciones%2Fchat%2F20240815.Demo.Chat.mp4%3Forigin%3Dsourceforge&origin=web More about it at this web site: https://www.frojasg1.com:8443/downloads_web/web/html/conversaciones.html?origin=sourceforge -

ILA - teachable voice assistant
ILA is a fully customizable and teachable voice assistant for Java
ILA stands for (kind of) intelligent, learning assistant and is a speech recognition system aka voice assistant very similar to Siri, Google Now and Cortana. ILA is fully customizable and you can teach her/him/it new things by yourself like executing system commands, opening web pages, programs and apps or just some basic conversation :-) ILA runs on Java und thus is compatible to Windows, Mac and Linux. It is designed to integrate with your home enviroment and for example build up your own, free and open Amazon Echo replacement ;-) Right now the key components of ILA are the open source speech recognition CMU Sphinx-4, Google (Speech Recognition/Text-To-Speech) and MaryTTS (Text-To-Speech). The goal is to make ILA completely free of Google by improving all aspects of the open source systems. Since version 3.3 users can also write own add-ons to extend ILA. ILA's successor is the SEPIA Framework: https://sepia-framework.github.io/ Hope you enjoy ILA - Florian -

Mice TTM
mice stt tts
Dieses Tool wird speziell für die Barrierefreiheit unter Linux entwickelt. Es ermöglicht das umwandeln/konvertieren/parsen von Texten die aus einer Spracherkennung stammen, in Diktate sowie das Ausführen von Makros. Dies funktioniert ohne Internet, da die Spracherkennung auf dem PC selbst erfolgt. Mausbewegungen auf benannte Wörter und dann entsprechend auswählen oder per Sprachbefehl klicken. Außerdem können Textpassagen z.B. unter Libreoffice Wirter per Sprachbefehl entsprechend ausgewählt und bearbeitet werden. Springe zum Satzende und so weiter. Hausautomatisierungen können realiesiert werden. Nach jedem Befehl kann ein Feedback per Sprachausgabe erfolgen.(tts) Makros können das Licht einschalten oder den Fernseher per Broadlink steuern. Je nach dem welche Idee man hat. -
