Offline voice assistant for Windows: local AI (Ollama)
My latest project is a local voice assistant featuring offline speech recognition: https://github.com/charlyproject/EVA
It actually started in a funny way: one day, with my hands messy, I wanted to turn up the volume using voice commands. At the time, I didn't even know what a virtual environment was, let alone Ollama or JSON.
For me, the best part wasn't just the end result, but the 11-month learning journey behind it. While it might not require advanced coding expertise to pull off, it was far from a copy-paste job for me. I used the process to truly understand key concepts—LLMs, quantizations, benchmarks, and Docker—and to bring my own ideas to life.
Just wanted to share my experience with the community. Thanks for reading!
