AI Hardware / Offline Voice Assistant
CrankGPT is a fully offline voice assistant built on a hand-crank-powered Raspberry Pi setup. The page explains the hardware stack, local speech recognition, on-device LLMs, text-to-speech, power smoothing, and latency measurements for running the system without cloud dependency.
The page clearly describes a real AI-powered product/project with visible implementation detail. It shows the purpose, hardware, software stack, model choices, and performance notes, giving enough evidence for a useful public listing.
The snapshot cuts off before the full setup and results are shown, so a visitor cannot see the complete build instructions, repository/download links, or how reproducible the project is from the page alone.
