I’m trying to make a smart speaker where you push a button to talk and when you release it sends the audio to a server for transcription and response. It also has to do some basic logic with LEDs. I also want it to be always on and available as long as it’s plugged in. Do you have any advice on what might be a better alternative to a Pi? This is basically my first foray into hardware so I’m trying to learn as much as possible!
