Quoting: Pebble Index 01 Arrives as a Private Open Source Voice Capture Ring —
The world of wearable gadgets never stops surprising us, and open-source ones make it even more exciting. Pebble, best known for its smartwatches, has introduced Index 01, an open-source smart ring designed as a compact voice-input device for capturing short thoughts, reminders, and notes.
The ring houses a button, a microphone, Bluetooth hardware, local storage, and a long-life silver-oxide battery that lasts for years.
When pressed, it records a brief voice memo that is transferred to the Pebble mobile app once the paired phone is in range. All processing—including speech-to-text and the on-device language model that determines whether to create a note, reminder, or other action—runs locally within the open-source Pebble app.
