I'm interested in using this primarily because I only use | FOSS and up until now I've been going without a voice assistant, | but I do use flite tts. | david_allison wrote: | Apparently uses Vosk for TTS. | | Looks like it's welcoming of external contributors, a PR is in | for telephone functionality. You could very likely get the | functionality that you need included. | | https://github.com/Stypox/dicio-android | commoner wrote: | Newly added to F-Droid: | https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.dicio.dicio_android/ | | To choose Dicio as your default digital assistant on Android | (replacing Google Assistant), go to Settings > Apps & | notifications > Default apps > Digital assistant app > Default | digital assistant app. On Android 10+, this lets you activate | Dicio by swiping from the bottom left/right corner toward the | center of the screen. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-01-01 23:01 UTC)
