I'm not having any problems on mobile Chrome 67 on Android.
Voice control engine that runs fully in the browser using WebAssembly

Re: Voice control engine that runs fully in the browser using WebAssembly
#12Coincidentally 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) 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.

#13If 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
> will be open-sourced soon
Great! When that happens, I'll consider it.

#14Each 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…
Why 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.

#15Looks like this is source for the wake word engine:
https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine
But their site says to email for licensing, which bodes poorly.

It's ok with FF 62 on Android, but it'sshouldbeok with older versions. Being on a tablet I can't check if they're using something new.

#17Interesting 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…
Weird... I just tried it and it worked perfectly for me, even when whispering away from my phone's microphone. And I have a strong accent.

Sounds like a good idea. I will think about it. thanks for feedback.

#19Just 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.
thanks a lot for the feedback :)
Take a look at this standalone demo if you like https://github.com/Picovoice/Porcupine/tree/master/demo/js
it should be a matter of tweaking a few parameters.
