hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Add Vosk as local STT provider [1 pull requests]

Problem or Use Case

I'm running Hermes Agent in a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB, yes I know, limited hardware, but it works great.

I was using faster-whisper as STT local provider and works fine with my telegram audio messages.

When I asked Hermes to transcribe the audio from a Youtube video using faster-whisper I noticed the quality was not good enough.

I Asked Hermes to use Vosk with vosk-model-small-es-0.42 39Mb (Lightweight wideband model for Android and RPi) to transcribe it, and the result was better.

Then I asked Hermes to remove faster-whisper as default STT local provider and set Vosk as default STT local provider... and it WORKS!!!

My config.yaml STT:

stt:
  enabled: true
  provider: local_command
  local:
    model: base
    language: es
  openai:
    model: whisper-1
  mistral:
    model: voxtral-mini-latest

Proposed Solution

Please, add Vosk as local STT provider
