• Installing Skills

But wait, there's more!!

OVOS ships with a default TTS (Text to Speech) engine which speaks in the origional Alan-Pope voice that Mycroft used. There are MANY more to choose from. The following link will help you choose and configure a different voice for your assistant.

• Configuring the TTS engine WIP

Your OVOS assistant uses a "wake word" which lets it know it is time to start listening to your commands. By default, the phrase to wake OVOS is Hey Mycroft. This, like most things in OVOS is totally configurable. Follow the link to learn more.

• Changing the Wake Word WIP

OVOS ships with default services avaliabe to the public to use. These include public TTS and STT servers, a weather API provided by link to weather provider, access to Wolfram, and more. Part of being an open and private system, you can also change these to your own prefrences.

• Install your own Services WIP
