Installing Plugins

Many components in Neon Core can be replaced with alternatives or added as plugins. This guide provides a brief overview of how to replace some common components with alternate plugins. Detailed documentation about available plugins can be found in the OVOS Plugin Manager Docs. More information about configuration is available in the Neon Docs.

STT plugins convert your recorded voice into text.

nano ~/.config/neon/neon.yaml

Add or update the user configuration to use the new plugin and configure the plugin.

stt:
  # Set the module to the Plugin's entrypoint.
  # This is usually in the plugin's `README.md` file, or it can be found in `setup.py`
