Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Welcome to Davoice Expo Wake Word / hotword / Keywords Detection – Wake words and keyword detection solution designed by DaVoice.io.

About this package:

This is a "wake word" package for Expo. A "wake word" is a keyword that activates your device, like "Hey Siri" or "OK Google". "Wake Word" is also known as "keyword detection", "Phrase Recognition", "Phrase Spotting", “Voice triggered”, “hot word”, “trigger word”

It also provide Speech to Intent. Speech to Intent refers to the ability to recognize a spoken word or phrase and directly associate it with a specific action or operation within an application. Unlike a "wake word", which typically serves to activate or wake up the application, Speech to Intent goes further by enabling complex interactions and functionalities based on the recognized intent behind the speech.

For example, a wake word like "Hey App" might activate the application, while Speech to Intent could process a phrase like "Play my favorite song" or "Order a coffee" to execute corresponding tasks within the app. Speech to Intent is often triggered after a wake word activates the app, making it a key component of more advanced voice-controlled applications. This layered approach allows for seamless and intuitive voice-driven user experiences.

In order to generate your custom wake word you will need to:

  • Create wake word mode: Contact us at [email protected] with a list of your desired "custom wake words".

    We will send you corresponding models typically your wake word phrase .onnx for example:

    A wake word *"hey sky" will correspond to hey_sky.onnx.

  • Add wake words to Android: Simply copy the new onnx files to:

    android/app/src/main/assets/*.onnx

  • Add Wake word to IOS Copy new models somewhere under ios/YourProjectName.

    You can create a folder ios/YourProjectName/models/ and copy there there.

    Now add each onnx file to xcode making sure you opt-in “copy if needed”.

  • In React/JS code add the new onnx files to your configuration

    Change:

    // Create an array of instance configurations

    const instanceConfigs:instanceConfig[] = [
  
      { id: 'need_help_now', modelName: 'need_help_now.onnx', threshold: 0.9999, bufferCnt: 3 , sticky: false },
  
    ];
  
    To:
  
    // Create an array of instance configurations
  
    const instanceConfigs:instanceConfig[] = [
  
      { id: 'my_wake_word', modelName: 'my_wake_word.onnx', threshold: 0.9999, bufferCnt: 3 , sticky: false },
  
    ];

    // Create an array of instance configurations
  
    const instanceConfigs:instanceConfig[] = [
  
      { id: 'hey sky', modelName: 'hey_sky.onnx', threshold: 0.9999, bufferCnt: 3 , sticky: false },
