Does Voice PE need HAOS?

[grim hazel]

Hi all, quick question - can Home Assistant Voice PE work with HA Core? More specifically the docker version
Asking because as far as I know the wake word integration needs to be installed on HAOS

[midnight spire]

It works with any installation type

[grim hazel]

Amazing, thank you
Do you also happen to know if an i7-8700 would be enough for local voice recognition?

See this if you want to use containers for whisper, piper, and/or openwakeword: #1319677976392110143 message

I use NC cloud. I'll leave that question to others

[grim hazel]

No problem, thanks for the help!

I use Whisper/Piper in docker on i5-9500U. It's ok with base models, but lags on anything better...

[grim hazel]

Thanks! Guess I'll do some trial and error

Dive into that rabbit hole, it's funny here 🙂

I have whisper running with cuda acceleration in docker and piper just using cpu in docker 🙂

Running large-v3-turbo model with around 250ms response times

Wait, how do you use CUDA acceleration on pure CPU?

[terse granite]

No my whisper container is cuda, piper is just cpu
