[2904.14 --> 2905.44] to do the voice
[2905.44 --> 2905.94] transcription
[2905.94 --> 2906.62] and they're doing
[2906.62 --> 2907.94] it on Apple servers.
[2908.90 --> 2910.36] The upside
[2910.36 --> 2911.66] is that once
[2911.66 --> 2912.24] it figures out
[2912.24 --> 2912.98] what you're saying,
[2913.28 --> 2914.16] it executes that
[2914.16 --> 2914.96] over the LAN,
[2915.20 --> 2915.90] where some devices
[2915.90 --> 2916.88] use like an API
[2916.88 --> 2918.06] and a cloud system
[2918.06 --> 2918.52] and all that.
[2919.04 --> 2919.72] I don't know
[2919.72 --> 2920.16] if that's the same
[2920.16 --> 2920.90] for Mycroft,
[2920.98 --> 2921.74] other than it sounds
[2921.74 --> 2922.24] like they're using
[2922.24 --> 2923.22] Google speech to text,
[2923.30 --> 2924.32] which that's not ideal.
[2924.54 --> 2925.04] Do you have a sense
[2925.04 --> 2925.66] of this one, Alex?
[2925.66 --> 2927.06] There are zero
[2927.06 --> 2927.96] voice assistants
[2927.96 --> 2928.90] deployed in production
[2928.90 --> 2929.56] in this house
[2929.56 --> 2929.88] because,
[2930.14 --> 2930.56] as we've talked
[2930.56 --> 2931.48] about several times,
[2932.12 --> 2933.44] they are just getting
[2933.44 --> 2935.00] worse and more annoying
[2935.00 --> 2936.10] and more naggy
[2936.10 --> 2936.80] and, hey,
[2936.90 --> 2937.42] by the way,
[2937.48 --> 2938.08] did you know that you,
[2938.20 --> 2938.72] no, no,
[2938.78 --> 2939.46] shut up.
[2939.58 --> 2940.42] I just want to know
[2940.42 --> 2941.08] what the weather is
[2941.08 --> 2943.26] or I'm not interested,
[2943.54 --> 2943.82] okay?
[2944.18 --> 2944.78] I've never really
[2944.78 --> 2945.48] played around with it
[2945.48 --> 2946.26] until just this
[2946.26 --> 2947.10] most recent build,
[2947.46 --> 2949.42] but when you subscribe
[2949.42 --> 2950.86] to Nebukasa Cloud
[2950.86 --> 2951.62] for Home Assistant,
[2951.62 --> 2953.44] one of the features
[2953.44 --> 2954.96] you get is their
[2954.96 --> 2956.94] text-to-speech service.
[2957.68 --> 2958.22] I don't know
[2958.22 --> 2958.90] if you've tried it,
[2959.22 --> 2960.40] but it sounds
[2960.40 --> 2961.58] better than Google's.
[2961.98 --> 2962.60] I did a little
[2962.60 --> 2963.54] A-B comparison
[2963.54 --> 2964.32] and had the family
[2964.32 --> 2964.86] say which one
[2964.86 --> 2965.40] they liked better.
[2965.82 --> 2966.56] They all picked
[2966.56 --> 2967.16] the Nebukasa
[2967.16 --> 2968.32] text-to-speech service
[2968.32 --> 2969.48] and, I mean,
[2969.50 --> 2970.36] it's on their servers,
[2970.66 --> 2971.36] so I don't know how,
[2971.48 --> 2971.84] I don't know,
[2971.88 --> 2972.30] maybe they're just
[2972.30 --> 2973.40] proxying somebody else,
[2973.66 --> 2975.08] but I've been using that.
[2975.20 --> 2977.04] So I have nighttime scripts
[2977.04 --> 2977.78] like we've talked about
[2977.78 --> 2978.44] in the show before
[2978.44 --> 2979.56] and now,
[2979.70 --> 2981.06] when the script kicks off,
[2981.62 --> 2983.00] it uses the Nebukasa
[2983.00 --> 2985.04] text-to-speech service
[2985.04 --> 2987.56] to play on all the HomePods
[2987.56 --> 2988.36] that, like,
[2988.42 --> 2989.10] the bedtime mode
[2989.10 --> 2989.42] is starting
[2989.42 --> 2990.02] and everybody's got,
[2990.12 --> 2990.66] like, 15 minutes
[2990.66 --> 2991.50] to get their ass to bed.
[2992.08 --> 2993.24] And it sounds great,
[2993.62 --> 2994.78] but it's not local.
[2995.22 --> 2997.02] I imagine it's more private
[2997.02 --> 2998.20] than using the Google one,
[2998.28 --> 2999.08] but it's not local.
[2999.54 --> 3000.94] I'd love something local.
[3001.40 --> 3002.06] It's something that
[3002.06 --> 3003.30] could tie into a speaker.
[3003.52 --> 3004.14] I don't care if I have
[3004.14 --> 3005.24] to build the device for it,
[3005.64 --> 3006.38] a little microphone.
[3007.24 --> 3007.82] In fact, in a way,
[3007.86 --> 3009.18] I'd prefer to build
[3009.18 --> 3009.68] my own device
[3009.68 --> 3010.32] because I could build it
