Mycroft Precise
A lightweight, simple-to-use, RNN wake word listener.
Precise is a wake word listener. The software monitors an audio stream ( usually a microphone ) and when it recognizes a specific phrase it triggers an event. For example, at Mycroft AI the team has trained Precise to recognize the phrase "Hey, Mycroft". When the software recognizes this phrase it puts the rest of Mycroft's software into command mode and waits for a command from the person using the device. Mycroft Precise is fully open source and can be trined to recognize anything from a name to a cough.
In addition to Precise there are several proprietary wake word listeners out there. If you are looking to spot a wakeword Precise might be a great solution, but if it's too resource intensive or isn't accurate enough here are some alternative options.
Supported Operating Systems
