Trident

Personal voice assistant written in go using DeepSpeech. This was mainly created for personal use, so there may be some edge cases unaccounted for.

---

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for trident are:

• libdeepspeech and DeepSpeech models (speech to text)
• flite (text to speech)
• go

libdeepspeech along with its models can be found in its github releases. Be sure to download the native_client tarball for your platform and the .pbmm and .scorer files.

flite can be installed via your distribution's repositories:

• Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install flite-dev
• Fedora: sudo dnf install flite-devel
• Arch: sudo pacman -S flite festival-us

Installation

Move the previously downloaded models (.pbmm and .scorer) into this repo as deepspeech.pbmm and deepspeech.scorer. Then, follow the next steps.

To build trident, run:

make

After that, install by running:

sudo make install

Customization

To change the activation tone, replace the activate.wav file with any valid wav file and rebuild. The file will be embedded in the executable via //go:embed.

Trident has a config file called trident.toml. It will first look for it in <user config directory>/trident.toml (config directory as defined by os.UserConfigDir()), then it will look for it in the same directory as the executable.
