Home Voice Command Ideas
Option 1: All-in-one Mac mini
- Mac mini runs hotword detection (Porcupine)
- Records and transcribes with Whisper/Vosk
- Bro answers out loud via speakers
Option 2: Pi + Mac combo
- Pi listens for hotword, records voice
- Pi sends audio file to Mac mini
- Mac mini transcribes and answers out loud
Pi Benefits
- Multi-room coverage (add more Pis)
- Offloads always-on listening from Mac mini
Mac mini Advantages
- Faster transcription
- Central "house voice" for replies
Both setups can trigger Bro for smart, out-loud answers anywhere in the house.
