ILA stands for (kind of) intelligent, learning assistant and is a speech recognition system aka voice assistant very similar to Siri, Google Now and Cortana. ILA is fully customizable and you can teach her/him/it new things by yourself like executing system commands, opening web pages, programs and apps or just some basic conversation :-) ILA runs on Java und thus is compatible to Windows, Mac and Linux. It is designed to integrate with your home enviroment and for example build up your own, free and open Amazon Echo replacement ;-) Right now the key components of ILA are the open source speech recognition CMU Sphinx-4, Google (Speech Recognition/Text-To-Speech) and MaryTTS (Text-To-Speech). The goal is to make ILA completely free of Google by improving all aspects of the open source systems. Since version 3.3 users can also write own add-ons to extend ILA.

ILA's successor is the SEPIA Framework: https://sepia-framework.github.io/

Hope you enjoy ILA

  • This is very good work! Impressive!
  • I have checked out many different speech recognition / voice assistant type programs and ILA is truly amazing. She is very well written and presented. With the ability to teach, and learn from you. Her voice sounds great, she can recognize words that most others cannot, and she is customizable. ILA is definitely one of the best, coolest, voice assistants I have seen.
