Home Assistant 2023.5 brings us next chapter in Voice control for Home Assistant.
Today we will look at setup of LOCAL text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (STT) and see what are your current options in terms of control - what devices can you use, how to set ESPHome voice and also Voice over IP (VoIP) in Home Assistant.

We will also compare local TTS/STT with one from Nabu Casa and test it with 2 languages and on Home Assistant Yellow with 2GB CM4 and ZimaBoard.
