With [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/), it allows you to create your own personal local voice assistant.\n\nThis is same code base as Home Assistant [Wisper Add-on](https://github.com/home-assistant/addons), developed by [@synesthesiam](https://github.com/synesthesiam) from [Nabu Casa](https://www.nabucasa.com/).\n\nBut packaged as Home Assistant custom integration. This can be useful when your environment does not allow you to install add-ons. For example, when your Home Assistant is running in **venv**, **Docker** or [Windows](https://github.com/AlexxIT/HassWP).\n\n## Warnings\n\nUsing such heavy software inside Home Assistant can cause performance and stability problems. Use with caution!\n\nLarge language models require a lot of RAM. Use with caution!\n\nThe models are downloaded to the Home Assistant config folder. They can greatly increase the size of your backups or sync with GitHub. Use with caution!\n\nYou have to delete unnecessary models yourself from the Home Assistant config folder.\n\n## Installation\n\n[HACS](https://hacs.xyz/) \u003e Integrations \u003e 3 dots (upper top corner) \u003e Custom repositories \u003e URL: `AlexxIT/FasterWhisper`, Category: Integration \u003e Add \u003e wait \u003e Faster Whisper \u003e Install\n\nOr manually copy `faster_whisper` folder from [latest release](https://github.com/AlexxIT/FasterWhisper/releases/latest) to `/config/custom_components` folder.\n\n## Configuration\n\nSettings \u003e Integrations \u003e Add Integration \u003e Faster Whisper\n\nYou can setup multiple integrations with different models, languages, and other settings. If you need to change settings, just delete the integration and set it up again.\n\nRemember that each integration setup will consume a significant amount of RAM.\n\n## Usage\n\nYou can use Speech-to-Text (STT) only inside [Assist pipeline](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/assist_pipeline/).\n\nSettings \u003e Voice assistants \u003e Home Assistant \u003e Select STT engine.\n\nYou can create several pipelines with different settings for different situations.\n\nYou can use [StreamAssist](https://github.com/AlexxIT/StreamAssist) custom component to convert almost [any camera](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#camera) and almost [any speaker](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#media-player) into a local [voice assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/#voice).\n\nYou can try Home Assistant with local voice assistant on any PC with Windows using [HassWP](https://github.com/AlexxIT/HassWP) and this integration.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexxit%2Ffasterwhisper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falexxit%2Ffasterwhisper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexxit%2Ffasterwhisper/lists"}
