# Rhasspy has [moved and improved!](https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy)
This repository contains code for an older version of Rhasspy (2.4).
---
Rhasspy (pronounced RAH-SPEE) is an offline voice assistant toolkit inspired by [Jasper](https://jasperproject.github.io/) that [supports many languages](#supported-languages). It works well with [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/), [Hass.io](https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/), and [Node-RED](https://nodered.org).
**A newer version of Rhasspy (2.5) is available at [https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy](https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy)**
* [Documentation](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/v2.4.20/)
* [Discussion](https://community.rhasspy.org)
* [Video Introduction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijKTR_GqWwA)
* [Hass.IO Add-On Repository](https://github.com/synesthesiam/hassio-addons)
Rhasspy transcribes voice commands into [JSON](https://json.org) events that can trigger actions in home automation software, like [Home Assistant automations](https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#event-trigger) or [Node-RED flows](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/#node-red). You define custom voice commands in a [profile](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/profiles/) using a [specialized template syntax](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/training/#sentencesini), and Rhasspy takes care of the rest.
To run Rhasspy with the English (en) profile using Docker:
docker run -d -p 12101:12101 \
--restart unless-stopped \
-v "$HOME/.config/rhasspy/profiles:/profiles" \
--device /dev/snd:/dev/snd \
synesthesiam/rhasspy-server:latest \
--profile en \
--user-profiles /profiles
Then visit the web interface at [http://localhost:12101](http://localhost:12101)
See the [web interface documentation](https://rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/#web-interface) for a brief tour of what you can do.

## Intended Audience
Rhasspy is intended for advanced users that want to have a voice interface to Home Assistant, but value **privacy** and **freedom** above all else. There are many other voice assistants, but none (to my knowledge) that:
1. Can function **completely disconnected from the Internet**
2. Are entirely free/open source
3. Work well with Home Assistant, Hass.io, and Node-RED
If you feel comfortable sending your voice commands through the Internet for someone else to process, or are not comfortable with rolling your own Home Assistant automations to handle intents, I recommend taking a look at [Mycroft](https://mycroft.ai).
## Contributing
For users who are also coders, pull requests for bug fixes or new components are always welcome and much appreciated!
If you can speak/write one of the supported languages, I would love to hear your feedback about that language's profile.
I only speak English, so I rely on users of Rhasspy (and Google Translate) to help me write example sentences and create test WAV files.
