How do I - STT
STT (Speech to Text) is what converts your voice into commands that OVOS recognizes, then converts to an intent that is used to activate skills.
There are several STT engines available and OVOS uses ovos-stt-plugin-server and a list of public servers hosted by OVOS community members by default.
