Voice — talk to your mesh

The Voice package ships a spoken-answer agent tuned for text-to-speech surfaces: at most two speakable sentences, chat model tier, mesh lookups (Get/Search) and web search only when the question needs them, long work redirected to the portal. Installing the package (Get) registers the agent for you; every voice surface then reaches it by agent name Voice.

Surfaces that speak to it

• A voice satellite (e.g. FutureProofHomes Satellite1): the memex voice gateway (clients/voice-gateway in the MeshWeaver repo) connects the device on your LAN to any portal — wake word, streaming replies, conversation mode, spoken brain switching, and fire-and-forget delegation to the standard agents ("Frag den Researcher …").
• The mobile app: the microphone in the chat records and transcribes through the portal's POST /api/speech/transcribe and submits to your thread.
• The portal: the chat composer's mic uses the same centralized speech service.

Speech-to-text

Speech is transcribed by the centralized Whisper container (Doc/Architecture/CentralizedSpeech). language: de transcribes Swiss German OUT as Standard German. Instance operators deploy the container and set Speech__Endpoint / Speech__Enabled. The standard model — Swiss German, German and English in one Apache-2.0 Whisper fine-tune, with per-deployment builds, artifact locations and license rules — is documented in Speech models.

Custom wake word

The gateway repository carries a trained "Hey Memex" microWakeWord model with its full, reproducible training pipeline (clients/voice-gateway/wakeword/). It is licensed for personal, non-commercial use (mixed-license training data).

Pricing

Voice is planned for the top subscription tier once subscriptions ship in the Store; until then the package installs without a price.
