Connecting the Internet of things has never been easier. Mycroft has a lot of native skills and abilities baked in and, since it is open source, it allows outside developers to add more features over time.

Adapt is lightweight and streamlined and is designed to run on devices with limited computing resources. Adapt takes in natural language and outputs a data structure that includes the intent, a match probability, a tagged list of entities. #### Mycroft Core > Mycroft is the technology that ties natural language processing, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and powerful APIs together to create a powerful experience allowing users to manipulate their smart devices and the Internet of Things through voice control. ```bash xe1gyq@jessie:~$ git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git Cloning into 'mycroft-core'... remote: Counting objects: 1623, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (155/155), done. remote: Total 1623 (delta 64), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 1452 Receiving objects: 100% (1623/1623), 9.45 MiB | 687.00 KiB/s, done.

Mimic takes in text and reads it out loud to create a high quality voice. Mimic’s low-latency, small resource footprint, and good quality voices set it apart from other open source text-to-speech projects. ### Open Speech to Text > OpenSTT is being led by members of the Mycroft A.I. team as they strive to create a powerful voice interface and artificial intelligence platform. Our goal is to make this technology available to as many people as possible. We do this by leading development of open source projects, OpenSTT is one of these initiatives. ### Mycroft Core 0.6 Alpha > We are pleased to announce that Mycroft Core 0.6 Alpha is available for download today. Mycroft Core is a lightweight, portable piece of software written in Python. You can run it on anything from a Raspberry Pi to a gaming rig. Mycroft Core includes Adapt, Mimic, OpenSTT, and multiple open APIs to create an experience that allows users to interact with their technology using the most natural form of human communication – speech. * [Mycroft Core, the Mycroft Artificial Intelligence Platform Github](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core) * [Mycroft Alpha v0.6 Software Demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c8kfupIbO4\&feature=youtu.be)
