The voice focus is fucking el-el-lame
Removing dependency on using cloud voice like Google or Amazon is awesome. I wouldn't use voice if that's how I had to do it, and I really like voice control for my HA ecosystem.
To me it’s very gimmicky and requires a lot of work. It probably fits English speakers better as I’ve not had any luck using local voice.
You do need a bit of horsepower to run Whisper locally. A Nabu Casa subscription gets you their voice processing, and it's quick. Granted, it's not local but I trust them a pile more than I trust either of the other two, and if I had to I'd buy a GPU and run it locally, that's their focus anyway.
