Clarification on offline capabilities

[DivinorWieldor]

I've been reading through the documentation and I couldn't get a 100% clear answer to my question. Apologies if I missed anything.

From what I gather, sigma requires an internet connection to work, right? There are instructions on how the application needs to be configured for an azure connection, and how it uses client-server architecture for enhanced cloud computing. Still, these were mostly in reference to speech recognition from what I could gather.

So my question is: can sigma run fully offline, albeit with limited or reduced functionality? Or does it require an internet connection when it is running?

As of now, SIGMA requires an internet connection for the Azure components like speech recognition, speech synthesis, and LLMs, as currently configured. It would not run offline without some changes to the code. You could certainly replace the cloud components with other components that run offline, but you would need to implement those changes in the code.
