🌟 OpenVoiceOS is an open-source platform for smart speakers and other voice-centric devices.
ovos-core(this repo) is the central component.
🛠️ If you have an existing system, we strongly recommend using the ovos-installer to install OVOS and its dependencies. This tool simplifies installing everything in one go!
📦 For Raspberry Pi users, the RaspOVOS image is a perfect choice. It runs in a "headless" mode (no GUI) and is optimized for Raspberry Pi 3B or higher. 💨 Enjoy even better performance on newer devices!
🔧 For embedded systems, check out ovos-buildroot – a custom Linux distribution for minimal and efficient setups. Stay tuned for updates!
📚 More detailed documentation is available in the ovos-technical-manual.
🎯 Developers can install ovos-core standalone via:
pip install ovos-coreThis includes the core components, perfect for custom assistant development.
🌟 OVOS is powered by skills!
While some skills come pre-installed, most need to be installed explicitly.
🔍 Browse OVOS-compatible skills on PyPI or explore the OVOS GitHub organization.
🤔 Did you know most classic Mycroft skills also work on OVOS?
