This app is a wrapper around the mimic3 webserver. It registers itself to android, so you can use it system wide.
At the moment this app requires a running mimic3 server, but in the future it might be able to run locally.
For that to work the main problem is, that the onnxruntime which mimic3 depends on is not supported
by the gradle plugin chaquopy, which enables Android apps to use python packages. See #216 in the chaquopy repo

You need:
- Android phone running Android 7 or above
- A machine running the mimic3 webserver
- A router which can forward ports (or an exposed webserver)
In the app you can set the server address of your server. In the future I may provide a default one.
There is a docker image for the mimic3 webserver: mycroftai/mimic3 doc
NOTE: you have to run this behind a reverse proxy, because android forbids traffic to http websites by default.
I use a docker image for that: jc21/nginx-proxy-manager doc
