Ming Voice
Ming Voice is a local real-time speech-to-speech voice assistant running on AMD and Nvidia GPUs.
Ming Voice turns inclusionAI/Ming-3.0-audio-tiny into a real-time voice assistant that runs entirely on your local AMD or Nvidia GPU. It listens, decides when you are finished speaking, thinks, and responds out loud in a fraction of a second. It supports hands-free operation, push-to-talk, wake words, and voice cloning from a short audio sample. The assistant integrates with Home Assistant, Jellyfin, web search, timers, and reminders. It runs on Linux and Windows with WSL2, requiring a compatible GPU with sufficient VRAM.
