We will be pushing an update of the platform on Friday which solves a small bug where the ASR is taking a bit of time to start listening after the hotword is detected The next version is smooth!

Take a look at https://github.com/snipsco/snips-platform-documentation/tree... , it is as simple as pip install paho-mqtt and writing a dozen line of Python!

It is actually configurable, and as the platform is open and extensible it won't be too hard. For now you can have your broker send some messages on our MQTT bus, but later we will make this fully configurable

We will add a way for users to record hotwords with their own voice and learn a detector on-device. You can subscribe to our newsletter to be informed when new features will come!

For now there is a hotword shipped in the platform, but if you are an entreprise customer we can train a hotword for you. The hotword detector uses deep-learning and requires quite a bit of data to be robust to noise and to various accents.

Many microphones can work because our ASR is robust, ideally you want a microarray with noise cancelling

API.ai and companies which keep user data on their servers are putting user privacy at a risk, and they don't really match the performance we can have when we do datascience carefully

This is part of the platform, which has been built to be open and extensible, we will release a mobile app which allows makers to easily interact with their device and see what the platform is recognizing when users are talking to it !

Hi! We are comparing what you get by using an alternative service like api.ai (which you need to start by feeding manually) with what you can do with our solution. Manually feeding 70 queries per intent already takes a good deal of energy a

We use state-of-the-art deep-learning models that are very robust to noise (much more robust than what you get with GMM using Sphinx) and we train the model on data containing noise. This should be paired with a good microphone using microa

Thanks! And we take privacy very seriously, as should most companies now because the people will ask for this in the future. No reason Google should know what you ask your Voice Assistant to buy, or to remind you of!
