What next?

After the Google API shutdown, we need to find some other open source APIs to go on with. Can people please suggest some of them?

Please add them to the wiki.

From the way I see it, we just need a new speech API. The NEW Google WEB Speach API seems easy, but that has a rate limit, and to be quite honest, we have to think about privacy concerns: I don't want everything I say going through google.

There's API.AI, it has a free tier and returns a json.
There's Wit.AI, but that doesn't return text, it runs an app action. (They all must think they're so clever having an "AI" domain.)

But to be fair, if this is going to be a true home automation, than there should be as little cloud interaction as possible, as we all know clouds dry up. There's Kaldi, but that's a full machine learning toolkit and more than we need. There's also Simon, but it's more of a full software bundle ala DragonNaturallySpeaking, and I've experienced some cross-platform issues.

The only way we can really know is to test them. Personally, api.ai actually seems pretty good.
