I am looking for any methods to add privacy to Siri. I do not use apple products but it appears their voice assistant is the most privacy friendly option of the mainstream brands. How can I privatize/anonymize the smallest apple device with siri for daily use. Such as an iPod or iPhone jailbroke or not, or homepod device. I do not have the time to do a lengthy setup. I need plug and go for the most part as I am overworked already. I am using this for voice reminders, to do lists, the basic stuff, asking questions. Thanks.
Edit: Besides locking it in a sound proof danger box, using a voice changer as input, hard wiring on its own little danger spot on the network, fake account, pi hole, and VPN. Any realistic ideas?
I looked into Mycroft but sadly they have shutdown is appears. Their lead Dev left and went to work on Home Assistant. I think Home assistant is dominant in this space. But things aren’t refined for plug and play use. Yet! They are making major strides in the space though.
Okay, I knew about home assistant, but was not aware that it was a voice assistant, like Siri or the Google assistant. I just figured it was an app-based thing to control devices (similar to the google home app).
Home assistant has a voice assistant but it isn’t a voice assistant. Also, you are correct it is made to control a smart home (at the moment) that also include music threw external provider (or local files) but you can’t search the internet threw it. You can either install it locally or pay for home assistant subscription which include voice assistant threw cloud.
