Hi, I'm Mike.

I've been coding for over 25 years, and have a Ph.D in Computer Science and Cognitive Science. My passion is open source voice tech that can run completely offline, which is why I created the Rhasspy voice assistant and Larynx text to speech system.

Sponsorship here will go towards:

  • Upgrading and maintaining the many projects that contribute to Rhasspy and other voice applications
  • Purchasing GPU hardware/time to train free text to speech voices for everyone
  • Working with native speakers to create new public speech datasets/models for different languages

If I don't make it to 10, we'll say the goal was always in binary 😉
