The Sherpa backend can handle... almost everything related to voice. So far with have VAD, ASR, TTS. It should be relatively simple to add wake words, diarization etc. However I've reached a point where there is so much stuff to test that I'm just going to add one model we don't already have (Ominiligual ASR) and go towards just trying to get the backend initially merged and then expand on testing.

Sherpa supports a lot of models we already have Python backends for, but at a fraction of the size because it is all based on ONNX. We also have ONNX backends already, but it's not clear that we have GPU acceleration for all of those.
