Description

This plugin is a bridge to the native SDKs provided by Picovoice on iOS, Android and Web platforms for their product called Porcupine Wake Word.

A wake word is a special word or phrase that is meant to activate a device when spoken. It is also referred to as 'hotword', 'trigger word', and 'wake up word'.

This plugin is a perfect fit to combine with the speech-recognition plugin to allow always listening feature in a power efficient manner.

:warning: Never use speech-recognition alone to mimic always listening feature: doing that will result in a very high power consumption (see: Apple documentation on their Speech native API which says in section: Create a Great User Experience for Speech Recognition):

Speech recognition places a relatively high burden on battery life and network usage.
