Can I run STT and TTS on a different computer? (feddit.org)

Hey there!

I just ordered the Voice PE to play around with, and I was wondering if it's possible to run the processing of Speech on a different device. I have a HA Green that runs my instance and I'm guessing the processing power is a bit low. However, I also have a small homelab server running that has a lot more power (Ryzen 5 2600) and it would be great if I could just forward all the speech processing to that server.

If it's possible, is there a guide for it out there? Didn't really find something unfortunately...

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Honestly, all I'm trying to do is have it play some music in rooms, control lights and create timers during cooking. I was hoping whisper would be enough for that and I can get the 4s response time down with running it on a ryzen chip than the green.

I’ve also been using Speech-to-Phrase, which has a limited number of supported phrases BUT works much faster than the 4s, so it’s a good tailback when the primary methods aren’t working.
