Mycroft Core is the primary module that makes up the Mycroft Artificial Intelligence platform. Mycroft makes use of the Adapt Intent Parser, Speech-to-Text software, and Text-to-Speech. The idea behind the platform is to be able to voice enable any device and turn it into a smart personal assistant, able to perform a variety of tasks. Mycroft is often used to refer to the hardware product produced by Mycroft AI, Inc. - so to avoid confusion, the software stack is often referred to as "Mycroft Core".
