FAQ
Q: Is this server-based, like Siri or Google Now? A: No, the N900 has enough processing power to run this locally. This means that Saera will still work without an internet connection, and that you don't have to worry about the security of the server. Q: I installed Saera, and now I have no rootfs space left! Help! A: Saera is optified, but it depends on Pocketsphinx, which isn't. Optified Pocketsphinx packages will be uploaded eventually; in the mean time, there's a script to fix that here: [1]. Q: Will this run on the N9? A: No. The N9 would require a significant rewrite to port it all to QT, and it's rather hard to do that without a device to test on.
