Pebble smartwatch revival adds self-hosted Whisper voice server

Original: Das Pebble-Abenteuer hört einfach nicht auf. 😅 Jetzt steht hier ernsthaft ein eigener Whisper-Sprachserver für die Pebbl

A German tech blogger running a Pebble smartwatch setup reports that Gravel, a Pebble app, now sends voice recordings over HTTPS to a personal server, where Faster Whisper transcribes them locally using the whisper-small model. The setup works without Google, OpenAI or other cloud providers, keeping voice data private and self-hosted.

Why now: It shows how the revived Pebble ecosystem can offer voice features while avoiding Big Tech cloud services.
