# Matrix Voice Messenger [](https://github.com/poljar/matrix-nio) 
## Background
I had a [Voice Kit](https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice/) from Google's Maker Faire booth sitting around. I don't use voice assistants, but the kit has a Raspberry Pi Zero with a soundcard HAT, and a speaker and microphone all packed in to a pretty neat cardboard box. I figured I could build something using that to send and receive voice messages over [Matrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol)) - sort of a modern-day answering machine.
## Hardware / Driver Setup
I'm running stock ~~raspbian~~ [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/) on the Pi in the box, so the first step was to get the speaker working. I made [a summary of the instructions](hardware-setup.md) for this, following the [guide to installing Google's AIY software on Raspbian](https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/blob/aiyprojects/HACKING.md#install-aiy-software-on-an-existing-raspbian-system).
## Getting started
See [SETUP.md](SETUP.md) for how to setup and run the template project.
## Project structure
The basic structure of the project is the same as that of any other nio-template project.
