A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking information about existing portable devices that can connect to local language models for speech-to-text and text-to-speech interaction. The ideal device would be a small, screenless gadget that connects via Wi-Fi to a home network, allowing users to query local models like Llama-server using voice commands and receive spoken responses. While the user acknowledges the possibility of building such a device with a Raspberry Pi, they are interested in off-the-shelf solutions for a simple, kid-friendly, and entirely self-hosted voice interface.
