Homelab Academy / Modules
Independent application with evidence.
Module: Module 4: Local Voice Assistant
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Bloom move: push from guided practice into independent Apply/Analyze
Objective: Given CPU/RAM constraints, the learner can deploy local Whisper (STT) and Piper (TTS) via Wyoming, benchmark them separately, and record latency/quality tradeoffs before integration.
Complete without peeking at lab hints first. Then compare.
You do: close the hints. Solve before opening the lab.
Benchmark two settings (or note why you cannot) and recommend one for your hardware with numbers.
