Which speech engine is used by mycroft to convert speech to text?

Is there a difference between python SpaCy and Mycroft?

Thank You

By default (anonymized) Google-STT service is used, but you can change to a local STT-service if you want (e.g. Kaldi, Coqui-STT, …)

SpaCy is a NLU toolset (natural language understandig) which offers intent parsing which takes place after the STT process. Mycroft uses its own developed intent parsers Padatious and Adapt.

Thank you for the answers. :slightly_smiling_face: Did I understand correctly that mycroft can also do NLP? So symmantic understanding? Is it possible to marry SpaCy to Mycroft or does it make little sense?

Many thanks for the help

I think it should be possible to build intent parsers similar to Adapt/Padatious with SpaCy, but I can not see any advantage.

Many thanks for your answer. I assume that the myCroft NLP module is just as good as SpaCy. I hope so, at least
