Welcome to a comprehensive guide on setting up Aura, a cutting-edge voice assistant powered by Vercel Edge Functions, Whisper Speech Recognition, GPT-4o, and Eleven Labs TTS streaming. This article will walk you through the installation process and provide troubleshooting tips to enhance your experience.
Understanding Aura
Aura is like having your own Siri within your browser, offering low latency responses. Imagine ordering a coffee at your favorite café: you tell the barista your order (Whisper Speech Recognition does this), they quickly enter it into the system (GPT-4o generates the response), and then they prepare your drink while you smile in anticipation (Eleven Labs TTS streams the response back to you). This intricate dance happens almost instantaneously when using Aura, making it a quick and efficient tool for online voice assistance.
