Didn't Google and such have access to much more training data than open source solutions? I would think that would give them an advantage, unless it's the raw algorithms that are better.

Both, yealink for physical phones. Ground wire for mobile app. You could always sign up for a test number before you port yours over.

Voip.ms is great, been using them for businesses for years. It's dirt cheap - probably cost you like $3/month.

Why the downvotes? Is there a better alternative? VRsort.com is another, but filtering isn't as good.

What are some of the best purchases of your life? by miketunes in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[-] miketunes@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Diva Swan speakers - they were one of the early internet speaker companies. They had a deal if you bought 2 floorstanding and 2 bookshelf speakers they threw in the $500 center channel for free. I've upgraded receivers with newer surround processing over the years, but the the core 5.1 holds up great for 20+ years now. https://hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_2/diva-swans-41-speakers-5-2001.html

Good full color passthrough. I've toyed with some AR apps, but I think they will really shine on Quest 3.

The best site to find new games. You can sort through all the app lab and other games by a variety of factors. I just wish they had a gorilla tag exclusion filter.

This is a great guide to get started with. Loss of reviews in every issue. Reminds me of the old Nintendo power magazines but for VR.

Tower Tag is a great FPS that is stationary: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3812563858803226/

The I except you to die series is a great escape-room type series that you play sitting.
