[Idea] Continuous voice recognition

[Pierre-Gilles]

Hi !

First, your project is awesome :)

Do you think it could be possible to listen continuously without having to click the button ? It could enable "keyword spotting", like for example you're waiting for a special keyword. Imagine you want to build an Alexa like assistant, you can wait for "Alexa", "Jarvis", "Siri", or whatever you want, and then when the keyword is detected locally you start real voice recognition of the browser to detect exactly what was the command.

In fact I'm working on a project called Gladys, an assistant who can control your home, and I'm currently looking for a keyword spotting tool to recognize the word "Gladys". ( http://gladysproject.com ).

Thank you again for this awesome work :)

Hi Pierre. I am glad to hear you like the project. The feature you describe is definitely one I am working on. I've had a chance to take a quick look at the Gladys project, and it looks cool!

Hi,

I'm maker of project SARAH (http://sarah.encausse.net). I made an experimental NodeJS client for SARAH here: https://github.com/JpEncausse/SARAH-Client-NodeJS

The idea is to use Microsoft Oxford (instead of Microsoft Speech Engne) to perform continuous speech recognition.

Your project might fix the "keyword spotting" challenge I asked on Oxford Forum: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/azure/en-US/35d6c266-d2fa-4715-9b76-d00728b57ef4/help-speech-api-hot-word-detection-locally?forum=mlapi

It would be soooo cool to be able to use your code in NodeJS on an Audio Stream

I have upload a keyword spotting demo to the repository. Check it out here: https://github.com/dreamdom/JsSpeechRecognizer/tree/master/demos/keyword-spotting/

SARAH looks like a really cool project. I don't know too much about working Node at the moment, but I will check it out.

Wow that's really impressive ! Great work :) It works even when the tab is not active, and only with 5 trainings.

Thanks a lot for your work, I will look at it in detail and see how we can implement that in Node.js.

I would really love to have something like this working in node, to be able to perform keyword detection without having to use a webbrowser.
