📢 Language Support in OVOS Needs Your Help!

Hey OVOS community! 🚀

If you’re using raspOVOS or any OVOS installation, we need real-world data to improve performance! 🫵

• 🟢 GitLocalize Benchmarks show between 70% and 90%+ accuracy depending on language
• 🔴 User Reports from the latest raspOVOS images indicate high intent failure rates in real use!

This gap shows why training data alone isn’t enough—we need fresh test data to:

• 🛠 Identify intent failures in daily usage
• 🗣 Spot translation mistakes affecting accuracy
• 📊 Improve models & pipelines

🌍 How to Help?

1️⃣ Enable Open Data Collection in raspOVOS (or your OVOS instance)

• Add this to your mycroft.conf:

"open_data": {
  "intent_urls": [
    "https://metrics.tigregotico.pt/intents"
  ]
}

(Or self-host to track your own assistant’s failed intents! 🔧 More info)

2️⃣ Monitor Progress & Data Collection:

• 📊 Live Dashboard: opendata.tigregotico.pt
• ✅ Server Status: metrics.tigregotico.pt/status

OVOS is getting more users, but without native speakers contributing real data, accuracy will suffer!

Thanks for your help! Let’s make OVOS great for every language together! 🚀💙
