moorcheh-edge voice ask

Synopsis

moorcheh-edge voice ask [options]

Embeds the question locally (BGE-small-en-v1.5, 384-dim), calls POST /answer on Moorcheh Edge, and optionally plays the reply with Piper TTS.

Run moorcheh-edge up --with-llm first so Ollama and the answer model are available. Run voice setup once before first use.
