This has been my dream since I was a teen - and now the tech is real. This is a fork of an existing speech-to-speech project by Huggingface, with a lot of additions to add the right chimes, the voice* and the overall wakeword architecture.
I've had it running for a day and ... I like it. I'll most likely wire up a version of this throughout the house so the whole family can live the trekkie life :)
*) Cloning Barrett's voice ... I know. It's just little old me showing that we now have the tech, not some commercial venture. It's done with the utmost of respect for her craft throughout all those years!

Oh thanks all for the nice comments! My fork is at https://github.com/troed/speech-to-speech but beware it’s not kept in any other state than what I’ve last pushed :) Also you’ll have to supply your own chime wavs and voice sample etc.
I’ve added example scripts for client, server and MCP configs. It should be much easier to replicate with those now.
This is cool as heck. Can you share the details at some point?
It needs some punch-card-shuffling noises to bring the TOS vibes. Great work!
Circa 2009-2010 there was a desktop overlay theme for Windows XP that I think was called System47. It was super basic, a LCARS overlay that let you access basic apps and info. It included a voice command which you could open apps or perform certain functions.
OMG I love this. Thank you for sharing!
“A keyboard? How quaint.”
That is cool as fuck. Nice job
Fantastic! I built my own lcars control panel for a wall in my house using Html/JavaScript and always dreamed of finishing it with voice control.
I have a Home Assistant LCARS theme on my dashboard right now. Still learning how to make a nice looking dashboard with it.
I’d be tempted to have it switch voices for different purposes. Robert Picardo’s EMH for medicinal queries, Kate Mulgrew for “what should I do” queries, alternate between James Doohan & LeVar Burton for technical stuff, etc. Might throw in some Lower Decks characters for fun, too.
“I’m thinking of investing in this crypto scam, should I do it?”
Micheal Dorn: “you should not. Crypto scammers are without honor.”
quarks voice. crypto can be very lucrative.
And Michael for those teary eyed, pathos laden, dull speeches.
Is there a guide on how to duplicate this? I saw a voice to LLM back to voice tutorial a few weeks ago but it was much slower and the developer talked about the fixes needed that you must have implemented!
What do you use for voice synthesis?
Qwen3-TTS does excellent cloning and is very fast. On my workstation (5060Ti) it renders the audio at around 2.5x realtime. I’ve added an example with my parameters now.
Majel was fine with her voice being used for computer so I don’t think there’s any problem there.
Assumption is not a form of consent
It’s not different than pirating an mp3.

Holy shit I love LLMs now
