Voice control engine that runs fully in the browser using WebAssembly
- bufferoverflow 8y agoThe web demo doesn't work for me on Android.
- krylon 8y agoWorks for me on Android using Firefox.
- bufferoverflow 8y agoAh, it does for me too, though not reliably.
- exikyut 8y agoEach of the >30 times I've hit F5 on this site in Chromium it causes a 100% reproducible, complete tab crash. The tab fully loads and appears properly for about... 100ms or so beforehand, so I'm pretty sure it's to do with some kind of wasm interaction. I have my microphone set to "ask before accessing" so I don't think the crash is to do with audio. FWIW, I've been experiencing periodic tab crashes for the past few weeks, and need to do a package upgrade to move up from 68.0, so this may not be interesting to anybody. But in case someone sees this and wants to chase it down, let me know; debugging Chromium can be fun. Unfortunately Arch doesn't provide debug symbols for their builds :'( so that's a bit of a setback, but yeah.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoWhy are you not up to date? Chrom/ium has a stable extension API; it's not like it should break anything, and you're missing security and bug fixes.
- exikyut 8y agoInsufficient diskspace, to be honest (avg. 50-100MB free on /). Which is due to expensive medical issues that make it tricky for me to work. Been a problem for a while - worked with just under 8MB free for two years on the 486 I used between 2003 and 2005. The reason I'm doing my best to sit still until I can fix things properly is that buying small HDDs a) multiplies single points of failure beyond the many, many disks I have boxed up and hope still work, and b) increases the total capacity I'll need to _re-purchase_ when I can finally assemble a ZFS pool. Right now, I have enough 400MB and 4GB, 10GB, 60GB, etc HDDs that I need about 10TB (!!!!) of temporary capacity to sanely deduplicate everything. I'll figure out a solution eventually.
- IanCal 8y agoInteresting tech, but on a very restricted demo it was wrong a huge number of times for me. I'd recommend adding a note that the lamp itself will go red in response to "ok lamp", at least I think that's why it was doing that - it was a bit confusing and to see the first thing happen after saying "ok lamp, blue" having the picture of a lamp go red was not hugely encouraging initially. Perhaps add "listening for colour" or something.
- joethebro 8y agoJust to add my experience, the demo worked perfectly straight away (Chrome 70 on macOS). Really cool to see this tech, hope it's easy to integrate.
- kenarsa 8y agothanks a lot for the feedback :) Take a look at this standalone demo if you like https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine/tree/master/demo/js https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine/tree/master/demo/js it should be a matter of tweaking a few parameters.
- rkagerer 8y agoWeb demo on your main page worked great for me at first, but stopped working after about half a dozen commands.
- kenarsa 8y agoThat's odd. If there are errors in the console. Please open an issue in the GitHub repo is possible: https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine Otherwise, I am thinking it could be something related to the microphone?
- dredds 8y agoOddly, all site text invisible in Chrome 55 (UC Browser) and FF 57. (text exists, but must be same as bg color, including all buttons)
- oulipo 8y agoIf you are interested in a voice engine which will be open-sourced soon and works on Raspberry Pi 3, iOS, Android, osX and Linux, you can take a look at what we are building at Snips https://snips.ai https://snips.ai
- maxerickson 8y agoA bare minimum for advertising your project in this discussion would be a friendly comparison. All you've done here is spam the discussion, like you always do.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y ago> will be open-sourced soon Great! When that happens, I'll consider it.
- edoceo 8y agoThey've been saying "soon" for over six months. Don't hold your breath.
- dang 8y agoThis is pretty much (if not completely?) all you've been posting about to HN. It's one thing to occasionally share relevant work, but using HN for promotion crosses the line into spamming. Please stop.
- mikob 8y agoCoincidentally I tried the python client just earlier today and was blown away. I never even had to record my voice, I just typed two words for the wake word and it was 95% accurate in picking them up even with heavy background noise. I am definitely going to integrate the wake word functionality into my Chrome extension that lets users control the browser via voice (https://www.lipsurf.com https://www.lipsurf.com) so they can turn on the extension without even hitting the button. I thought I would need to look into compiling into web assembly myself, super impressed that this too has already been done.
- kenarsa 8y agoSounds like a great idea. Let us know if you face any problems integrating it. Happy to help. Cheers!
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoLooks like this is source for the wake word engine: https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine But their site says to email for licensing, which bodes poorly.

- dovemint 8y agoThis kind of sounds like what Snips.ai is doing.. A Private by design voice assistant
- faissaloo 8y agoProprietary? No thanks, I'll just use Mozilla Deepspeech.
- mediocrejoker 8y agoSerious question, how is that working so far? I’d love to have Alexa/Google hone functionality but I’m not comfortable having a device made by those companies always listening in my home. Really looking forward to when a product using Mozilla’s tech is available.
