snowboy VS gitpod

Great question. This is technically referred to as "Wake Word Detection". You run a really small model locally that is just processing 500ms (for example) of audio at a time through a light weight CNN or RNN. The idea here is that it's just binary classification (vs actual speech recognition).

There are some open source libraries that make this relatively easy:

- https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy (looks to be shutdown now)

Leon uses Snowboy for its hotword detection. Unfortunately the project has been discontinued and is suffering from the lack of maintainability.

For step 6, setting up the wake word, the post recommends KITT.AI or Sensory, but Kitt is closing down and Sensory is not free. Do you know of any other services that are still around and well maintained?

Looks really nice and clean! Have you by chance tested out the snowboy hotword detector https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy? (Just noticed that they are actually shutting down)

hi, i just checked it and really loved the plugin, but saw that the site that used to analyze the voice to make a new hotword (https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy) got shut down at 31/12/2020, and i havent find any other place that can do that :(

Gitpod: It provides a Chrome extension that opens a VS Code-based IDE right in your browser. It is best for running the project in your browser without setting up and running locally.

This is very interesting but if I read correctly OP’s question they probably mean something like Gitpod/GitHub Codespaces where the IDE is running “somewhere else” and is accessible via browser.

Before we begin the siege of the RPC we need to ensure our system is configured for building Soroban smart contracts. You have two clear options. The first is to use a virtual environment like Gitpod or Codespaces which can have everything pre-installed and configured for you. In fact here's a good hello-world Gitpod VM we've built for you.

GitPod can integrate with a range of Git repo hosts and supports a number of popular IDEs, not just VS Code. The Starter account gives you 50 hrs free per month.
