yes I've used #OpenVoiceOS on my Mycroft 2 although I'm now using #NeonAI which
makes use of #Ovos .. I'd say it's fine and interesting, if a bit experimental.
My test bed Mycroft / OpenVoiceOS installation is coming alongnicely. It's frustrating that MycroftAI's excellent online portal for managing skills and settings disappeared with the demise of the company. But I'm encouraged by the onscreen developments OVOS has inherited from Mycroft II.
Does anyone have a recent, stable image for PiCroft (the raspberry pi image of Mycroft assistant) the links are all dead on the Mycroft site.
@franko Yes, the Mk2 does seem a bit pricey. I looked on eBay but they don't seem to have made it onto there yet. You can just download the software onto a 'puter if you want to just test the principle of the thing. It's all open source. #foss #fosh #mycroftai
Have you had a look at #mycroftai ? I haven't used it personally, but always thought it was worth looking into.
@nick0515@linuxrocks.online I tried setting up the #MycroftAI extension for Gnome Shell on Arch a while back without any luck. Didn't give it much effort, though. Last time I looked into the Android app it required an external server. I own a Mark I and would love to see the core progress.
i'm no fan of amazon, but some of my friends have amazon echo-type devices, and seeing them makes me wish there was some way to get #mycroftai on them, because they look like they're fairly well designed.

My #MycroftAI Mark II's have shipped!
Can't believe I ordered four of the #OpenSource #Privacy-Focused #VoiceAssistant
I think I specced them differently back then, final shipping model is all the high spec version!

@Beerbruin I really want to love #mycroftai. And I hope I do some day, but boy is it hard to get up and running. Still wish for an easy install on #Android or #Linux.
@tylerb @evacide I was extremely unimpressed with the original #MycroftAI. But they reworked the entire thing including the hardware and re-launched like last week.
I watched a couple videos and for the price it still doesn't look like much...
@evacide Maybe it's time to take another look at #MycroftAI - I saw it a few years ago at a conference and it sounded promising. https://mycroft.ai/
@pixelherodev Isn't the same true of #Mycroft? Mycroft is there, and exists in the real world. It's biggest problem is that it's smart speaker software without a smart speaker to run on. #MycroftAI has been working on getting their hardware released for over 4 years now. In that time, Mycroft has only run on the aging Mark I devices, cobbled together Picrofts, and PCs which it's not designed to run on efficiently. An NPU may be helpful, but Mycroft's own hardware is simply a Pi 4.
