Field notes
The page lays out a home-centered system: an old laptop connected to the TV, with sherpa-onnx handling on-device hearing and Amazon Polly providing the voice. It says school and club email dates can feed the calendar, while reply drafts remain unsent. The project describes face recognition and weather alerts as part of Dave's role, and invites the first 100 households to register interest while development continues.
