The difference between a pi and open voice?
I'm using a Pi Zero as a voice satellite with an additional mic hat and a speaker hanging off the audio output and it's ... ok
There's definitely much lower WAF with this option
The voice assistant has built-in audio which appears to be high (enough) quality and considering it's case, power, etc, not to mention funding the advancement of open source voice control, it's just overall “better”
If you've got a Pi lying around with a mic & speaker, definitely give it a go
No idea, haven't used those. The HA Voice is open source through and through.
