Irene-Voice-Assistant
Offline Russian voice assistant built in Python with plugin support.
Irene-Voice-Assistant 简介
Irene-Voice-Assistant (Ирина) is a locally-run voice assistant designed for Russian-language interaction without internet connectivity. It relies on offline speech recognition and text-to-speech capabilities, making it suitable for privacy-sensitive or low-connectivity environments.
The assistant is extensible via plugins, allowing users to add custom skills such as system control, calendar access, or third-party service integrations — all executed locally. Development targets Python 3.5+, and the architecture prioritizes modularity and offline operation.
Documentation and community engagement are primarily in Russian, with multiple Habr articles detailing its evolution, including version 12’s integration of AI-powered plugins and Telegram group support.
