#GLaDOS

The GLaDOS voice assistant is a home automation tool inspired by the GLaDOS character from the Portal series. It offers features such as local trigger detection via PocketSphinx and a custom Text-to-Speech engine. Enjoy seamless integration with Home Assistant to control lights, read sensor data, and deliver weather updates. Current development focuses on optimizing for select hardware, requiring Python, PyAudio, and PocketSphinx. Detailed tutorials and a dedicated software integration process are available. Raspberry Pi support is presently limited, with solutions available in the Raspberry branch.

The glados-tts project provides a neural network TTS engine that supports local and remote use, offering models trained on diverse datasets such as LJSpeech and the enhanced Ellen McClain dataset. Its multispeaker capability and optimized model performance ensure efficient voice synthesis. Installation involves downloading model files and installing Python dependencies. Suitable for simple local tests or more sophisticated setups, this TTS engine is flexible and powerful.
