Let capable hardware run speech on the device - #648
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The installer only ever left speech on the public Open Voice OS servers, which are slow when the community is busy and send every recording over the internet. A Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB, or anything at least as capable, can run onnx-asr and phoonnx itself. The TUI now asks where speech runs, after the feature checklist, but only on alpha virtualenv installs whose profile has audio and whose hardware passes: a 64-bit CPU with AVX2 or NEON, at least 7.5 GiB of memory, and no Raspberry Pi older than the 5 family. Everything else stays on the public servers, and the summary says why. Scenario files get a speech_engine option. The plugins and models are the ones the installed ovos-config recommends for the locale, read from its offline recommendations rather than copied here; only their stt and tts sections are merged, because autoconfigure also rewrites units, wake words and intents this installer manages. The public STT server stays as the fallback for an utterance local recognition fails on, the models are fetched during the install, and uninstall removes them. Telemetry reports stt_engine, tts_engine and local_speech_capable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Ship an example scenario that asks for local speech, and give the nightly Linux matrix two alpha virtualenv runs that install it from a scenario file on the x86-64 and arm runners. They check that mycroft.conf names onnx-asr and phoonnx with the public server only as the STT fallback, that the model was fetched during the install, that the configured voice says "what time is it" and the configured recognizer hears it, and that the uninstall takes the models away. Every other cell pins speech_engine to public. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

They are run by the community as a backup and an example of self-hosted speech, and can go offline at any time. The speech screen now says so, and the public option reads as an acknowledgement of it rather than a feature. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Running every installer locale through its configured voice and recognizer on the alpha stack showed the ovos-config recommendations cannot be taken on trust there: phoonnx 1.3.4a1 does not know the Catalan voice and cannot speak any Spanish voice, the Portuguese recognizer needs 5 GB of memory, and Polish, Hindi and Kabyle have no recommendation at all. Configured blindly, a device would come up mute or deaf. One script now replaces the two. For each half it tries ovos-config's recommendation, then the plugin's own choice for the language, and keeps the first that works on the machine: the recognizer must load and run within a 3 GB budget, the voice must actually speak. Trying is also what downloads the model, each in its own process so a rejected one gives its memory back, and a rejected recognizer is deleted. A model whose repository ships int8 weights the recommendation does not ask for gets them. Only what passed is written; what failed is reported and stays on the public servers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Container installs now get the speech choice too, for the ovos and listener profiles (a containers satellite runs hivemind-docker images, which carry no speech plugins). They pass --offline or --online to ovos-config autoconfigure, so public now means both public there as well, instead of autoconfigure's hybrid mode. Local speech raises LISTENER_MEMORY_LIMIT and AUDIO_MEMORY_LIMIT, then runs the same speech tasks as the virtualenv inside the cli, listener and audio containers, each container fetching its own model into its own volume. It only goes local when the compose files in use read LISTENER_MEMORY_LIMIT and mount ovos_stt_models, and the pulled listener and audio images carry onnx-asr and phoonnx (OpenVoiceOS/ovos-docker#200). Until the pinned release has both, containers stay public and the installer says so, so this is safe to merge before that release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

With ovos-docker pinned to the commit that gives the listener and audio services their model volumes and memory limits (#649), containers installs can run speech on the device. The nightly matrix gains two alpha containers runs, on x86-64 and arm, that install it from a scenario file. The voice speaks in ovos_audio and the listener hears it in ovos_listener, through the /tmp/mycroft folder both containers mount, and the uninstall has to take the ovos_stt_models and ovos_tts_models volumes away.

…ocal speech The first end-to-end runs, and a re-read of what the tasks do, found four ways a local speech install could end up silent, deaf or stuck on the public servers. autoconfigure ran with --offline for local speech. That wrote ovos-config's offline recommendation into both halves, and speech.yml then replaced only the halves it proved work. A half that failed kept the recommendation that had just failed it. In Spanish that is a voice phoonnx 1.3.4a1 cannot speak, so a containers install was mute. autoconfigure now always runs --online: public is the baseline, and each half proven to work replaces it. A re-run kept a local section the last run wrote even when that half no longer worked. A half with nothing working now keeps a public server section (the locale's, from autoconfigure) and loses any other, so OVOS falls back to its public defaults. Running services never saw the result. ovos_utils' watcher reloads a file rewritten in place, and the copy module replaces it. In containers the listener and audio service were already up on autoconfigure's configuration, and in the virtualenv a re-run that switched to local only restarted the units when the template changed. Containers now restart those two services, and the units restart, whenever the speech write changed mycroft.conf. speech_setup.py could also stop the install. ovos_utils logs to stdout, which the task parses as JSON, and a crash, or a download that stalled without failing, ended or hung the play over an optional feature. Its stdout now carries the result alone; a fault costs one half, with the reason reported; each candidate gets 30 minutes; and the task falls back to public rather than failing. The local STT section also keeps the public servers ovos-config picks for the locale (Spanish has its own), so the fallback uses them instead of the plugin's defaults. The five new speech.bats cases run the real speech.yml under ansible-playbook against a stub interpreter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
assert_local_speech.sh only checked mycroft.conf and ran the plugins it names in a fresh process. That passes on a device whose services never loaded those plugins, which is exactly what the containers path did until the previous commit. The check now also asks the services themselves: - The running audio service synthesises a sentence over the bus and names the plugin that did it. That must be phoonnx. - The running listener's own log has to show the onnx-asr recognizer loading. - The listener transcribes what the voice said through its main recognizer, never the fallback. A listener only answers the bus once its microphone has started, which no CI runner has. In that case the recognizer hears the audio in a fresh process instead, and the output says which path was taken. assert_local_speech_bus.py reuses assert_intent_roundtrip.py's bare-websocket client, whose wait_for now accepts several reply topics, since the alpha audio service answers on the spec topic. test_local_speech_bus.py drives it against a fake bus, one wrong answer at a time.

The nightly local speech jobs check what the uninstall removes, and a scenario could not uninstall until #651.
The speech screen preselected local whenever the hardware qualified. On an update of an install made before this question existed, there is no saved answer, so pressing Enter through the screens switched a working public device to local and downloaded gigabytes of models. An existing install with no saved answer now starts on public, which is what it was running. A new install still starts on local, and a saved answer wins either way. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…boot The uninstall's label sweep spares anything whose name starts with "ovos_stt" or "ovos_tts", to protect STT and TTS servers people run themselves. The on-device model volumes, ovos_stt_models and ovos_tts_models, match those prefixes too, as does ovos-docker's ovos_tts_cache. They only went while the composition directory still existed, through compose down -v on the base file. That directory lives under /tmp, so an uninstall after a reboot left the models behind: gigabytes. The sweep now removes volumes ovos-docker's own compose files declare even when their names match an exclude. Server volumes such as ovos_tts_server_data are still spared. The new speech.bats case runs the real uninstall tasks against a fake docker_host_info result, with Docker out of reach. It fails without this. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Brings in today's main, #652's proof that every uninstall gives the machine back among it. One conflict: both branches added a check after the nightly's uninstall, this one for the speech models' directories and volumes, main's a before/after comparison of the whole machine. The comparison covers the speech models too, both directories well within the four levels of the home it records and every Docker volume, so it stays and the narrower check goes, with the guard test that looked for it.

The local recognizer downloads its model into a directory of its own, and huggingface_hub 2 still writes the revision it looked up into the shared cache: hub/models--istupakov--parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3-onnx/refs/main, 40 bytes, no model. Not an OVOS name, it read as the user's model, so the uninstall kept the whole cache the install had created, and both local speech virtualenv jobs failed the comparison. A repository's refs and its record of files that do not exist are now bookkeeping; a model the user downloaded still has files of its own and still keeps the cache.

A candidate over the memory budget had its model deleted, to give the disk back. But the candidates can include the model an earlier install's local section already uses, and that one was not this run's to delete. Whether the model's directory existed is noted before the probe; only one this run created goes. The test stand-in now downloads during the probe, as the real plugin does. From CodeRabbit on #648.

From CodeRabbit on #648, three ways a candidate was never tried: - A recommendation that could not be read or used raised inside the STT candidates and ended them, so the plugin's own model for the language was never tried and STT stayed public. It is noted and passed over now. - The same for TTS: phoonnx's own voices were never reached. - Candidates were told apart by model alone. A recommendation can ask for int8 weights a repository does not have, and the plugin's own choice of that same model without them was skipped as already tried. They are told apart by their whole section now. With the same model tried twice, whether its directory was there before is what this run first saw, not what the previous try left: what the int8 try downloaded is still this run's to delete.

On CodeRabbit's three outside-diff points about
The last change has a consequence for the cleanup from 8e607c3. The same model can now be tried twice, so "was its directory there before" now means before this run, not before this try. What an int8 try downloaded is still this run's to delete. The test that fed a non-JSON recommendation and expected STT to stay public now feeds a section that names no plugin. That fault still costs only that half, which is what the test is for. Four new tests cover the rest, each failing with its change reverted: the plugin's own model after an unreadable STT recommendation, phoonnx's voices after an unreadable TTS one, fp32 after failed int8 weights, and a download from an earlier try this run being deleted. |

Closes #2, closes #3, closes #37.
#37 asks for online, hybrid and fully offline setups. This PR gives that choice for speech: the public servers (online), or STT and TTS on the device with the public STT server as fallback (hybrid). The rest of #37 is not part of it: a fully offline mode, leaving out skills that need the internet, and a
ready_settingsthat waits only for offline skills.Summary

Nightly matrix on this branch (run 37574920255, head
fcb68217): all 20 jobs pass. The four local speech jobs (virtualenv and containers, on x86-64 and arm64) install from a scenario file. They then check the configuration and ask the running services, not a fresh process. On every one of the four:ovos-tts-plugin-phoonnxin 0.2–0.3 s;Installs took 150–185 s with warm caches. Earlier runs on this branch passed the speech checks but showed the uninstall leaving the models behind, which led to Make the uninstall uninstall again #651.

46cd8c74, after merging main (run 37682215397). Main now has Prove in CI that every uninstall gives the machine back #652, which compares the whole machine before the install with after the uninstall, so the local speech jobs end with that comparison. It covers the model directories and volumes, and it replaces this branch's own check for them. 60 jobs passed and 3 failed the comparison:hub/models--istupakov--parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3-onnx/refs/main, 40 bytes. Not an OVOS name, it read as the user's model, so the whole cache stayed. Reproduced locally with the alpha constraints. A repository's refs and its record of files that do not exist now count as huggingface_hub's bookkeeping (04ffa73c).Nightly on
50705023(run 37687766187): 62 jobs pass, the four local speech jobs and their uninstall comparisons among them, and the listener, server and satellite profiles on Ubuntu 26.04. One job failed, for a reason outside this branch: on arm64, alpha, containers, public speech, six skill containers crash-looped and "what time is it" fell through to the DuckDuckGo fallback, which did not answer. ovos-docker's Dockerfiles launch those skills by IDs the skills no longer register (unknown skill_id: skill-ovos-hello-world.openvoiceos; the skill is nowovos-skill-hello-world.openvoiceos), on both channels.Full bats suite: 717 passing on
f10c2d5f, the merge with today's main (Create what the installer makes readable, whatever umask it starts under #661, Hand root's leftovers in the OVOS virtualenv back to the user #662, Accept Find My's store directly in ~/Library #663). Beyond the shell and TUI tests (hardware matrix, availability rules, scenario option, TUI walks including the update default, locale guards, Ansible wiring), six speech.bats cases run real tasks under ansible-playbook.speech.ymlagainst a stub interpreter: what works is written and a re-run changes nothing; a half that stops working loses the local section an earlier run wrote; a half that does not work keeps autoconfigure's public section; a setup that cannot run leaves both halves public without failing the play; a hand-edited mycroft.conf is left alone.scripts/test_speech_setup.py(17 tests) drives each fallback on purpose against stand-ins, with real child processes. It also covers stdout carrying the result alone while a library prints and writes to fd 1, the fallback's locale servers, a fault costing one half, and a candidate that never finishes.8e607c39).scripts/test_local_speech_bus.py(6 tests) plays a bus whose audio service never reloaded, a deaf listener, a listener with no microphone and the legacy reply topic.Every new test was checked against the code it guards: each one fails when that code is reverted.
