The Coding Train

The Coding Train

Daniel Shiffman builds a fully local voice chatbot in p5.js using Whisper for speech-to-text and Kokoro TTS for text-to-speech, demonstrating how to process audio entirely in the browser while advocating for creative, lightweight alternatives to large language models for the bot's 'brain'.

The Coding Train

The Coding Train demonstrates how to implement a Naive Bayes text classifier in JavaScript from scratch, using a concrete library book probability example to explain Bayes Theorem before coding a lightweight, browser-based word-frequency classification system.
