If you have a sub to HA Cloud, you should be able to use their Cloud Voice service. I find that's less than a second of latency on any commands I give my Voice assist.
My point was just that I guess I trust NC with that, but I wouldn't do the same with the other two. But I'm still moving to local when I get sufficient hardware to equal that latency.
It's my understanding that yes, that is an option but i'm in the camp that any step i make at this point will be towards being as cloudless and local as possible with services like this. I agree that i'd trust them over the others but i don't want to have to pick between a poor user experience, a large hardware cost, or trusting SOME company.
I've made automation for all of my most commonly said phrases and when using those it works but that limits it to only the things i've already thought to key in. Not very ideal but it works well enough.
Fair enough. I'm not far behind you on that front. Too many rugpulls and enshittification experiences to trust cloud services very far.
