Build a Private Voice Assistant with Python and OpenAI's Whisper
This guide shows how to create an offline voice assistant using Python, OpenAI's Whisper for speech-to-text, and pyttsx3 for text-to-speech. The assistant runs locally, ensuring privacy and zero API costs. A working prototype can be built in under an hour on a laptop.
