Microphone icon iOS app

[supple mountain]

What does the microphone icon supposed to do in the Home Assistant iOS app? On mine it just toggles to show the text field. I expect it to let me talk to the app in some way. G

The microphone shows when it’s listening and streaming voice to the voice assistant. Did you set up a voice assistant?

Yes I created an assistant, but I talk to the app and nothing happens

There's a cryptic message in my logs

Traceback (most recent call last):

The actual message is this: "the pipeline does not support speech-to-text"

In your Voice Assistant settings you need to add a STT provider to the pipeline.

Probably good to read through this: https://www.home-assistant.io/voice_control/

Actually, that just jumps off to two links.

• Processing voice locally
• Using Home Assistant Cloud

Is there any way to use ChatGPT or it has to be a local model?

Yea. You can use ChatGPT. You need a STT processor, an agent (like ChatGPT), and then a TTS processor.

Can I use a cloud STT that is not home assistant cloud?

I don’t know if anyone has built one. Maybe?

Looks like Google Cloud is an option. Nabu Casa is on Azure.
