Yesterday, I ordered food online. However it went a little off. And I contacted Support. They called me and for one moment, I thought it's a bot or recorded voice or something. And I hated it. Then I realized it's a human on the line.

I was planning to do an LLM+TTS+Speech Recognition and deploy it on A311D. To see if I can practice british accent with it. Now I'm rethinking about what I want to do. This way we are going, it doesn't lead to a good destination. I would hate it if I would have to talk to a voice enabled chatbot as support agent rather than a human.

And don't get me wrong. Voice enabled chatbots can have tons of good uses. But replacing humans with LLMs, not a good one. I don't think so.

I'm exploring ways to improve audio preprocessing for speech recognition for my [midi2hamlib](https://github.com/DO9RE/midi2hamlib) project. Do any of my followers have expertise with **SoX** or **speech recognition**? Specifically, I’m seeking advice on: 1️⃣ Best practices for audio preparation for speech recognition. 2️⃣ SoX command-line parameters that can optimize audio during recording or playback.

After my #wake_word_detection #research has delievered fruits, I have plans to continue works in the voice domain. I would love if I could train a #TTS model which has #British accent so I would use it to practice.

I was wondering if I could do the inference on #A311D #NPU. However, as I am skimming papers of different models, having inference on A311D with reasonable performance seems unlikely. Even training of these models on my entry level #IntelArc #GPU would be painful.

Maybe I could just finetune an already existing models. I am also thinking about using #GeneticProgramming for some components of these TTS models to see if there will be better inference performance.

There are #FastSpeech2 and #SpeedySpeech which look promising. I wonder how much natural their accents will be. But they would be good starting points.

BTW, if anyone needs opensource models, I would love to work as a freelancer and have an #opensource job. Even if someone can just provide access to computation resources, that would be good.

Vibe is an #OpenSource desktop client (mac, windows, linux) for locally running Whisper to more accurately transcribe or caption videos & audio https://thewh1teagle.github.io/vibe/ Source code: https://github.com/thewh1teagle/vibe/ Easier to use than what I was using before (WhisperDesktop). Default settings use the medium Whisper model, which has been good enough in my experience.

For learning languages, do you think it's a good idea to practice with an AI Speech Recognition and an AI Speech Synthesis engine?

I'm specifically interesting in British English and German.

Speech recognition systems struggle with accents and dialects, risking problems in critical fields like healthcare and emergency services. Imagine calling 911 and the AI used to screen out non-emergency calls can’t understand you.

#UnplugTrump - Tipp5:
Verabschiede dich von Alexa und anderen Sprachassistenten, die deine Gespräche mithören und auswerten. Nutze stattdessen eine datenschutzfreundliche Alternative wie OpenVoiceOS, ein Open-Source-Sprachassistent, der von einer aktiven Community weiterentwickelt wird und auf einem RaspberryPi läuft. So behältst du die Kontrolle über deine Daten.

Using LLMs to clean up the output of speech recognition has been a game changer for me in the past year:
