  • How to train large deep learning models as a startup

    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:

    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 :(
