    Nifty! I wrote something similar a couple years ago using Vosk for the stt side. My project went a little further though, automating navigating the programs you start. So you could say: “play the witcher” and it’d check if The Witcher was available in a local Kodi instance, and if not, then figure out which streaming service was running it and launch the page for it. It’d also let you run arbitrary commands and user plugins too!

    I ran into two big problems though that more-or-less killed my enthusiasm for developing on it: (1) some of the functionality relied on pyautogui, but with the Linux desktop’s transition to Wayland, some of the functionality I relied on was disappearing. (2) I wanted to package it for Flatpak, and it turns out that Flatpak doesn’t play well with Python. I was also trying to support both arm64 and amd64 which it turns out is also really hard (omg the pain of doing this for the Pi).

    Anyway, maybe the project will serve as some inspiration.
