Voice or microphone worked, the LED turned on, though no output or input
Hello! I responded to you in my other post but I'll copy and paste it here as well in case anyone else needs it. I'm guessing one of the LED's was on but one wasn't. Regarding them;
- If the "recording" light doesn't turn on (the top one,) then it did not hear you utter a wake phrase.
- If the "listening" light does turn on, it detects voice activity, but unless you utter a wake phrase it will not send the recording for transcription and completion.
So in short, if you say "Hex Vox, what's the news?" and you don't see the recording light turn on, then it didn't catch the wake phrase and you have to try again.
If instead you just want to speak your command without relying on wake phrase recognition, you can just click the "Call" button - that will start recording immediately and always send the audio for transcription.
This project was the one that set me off on making the wake phrase model in the first place. At first I didn't have it and relied instead on voice activity detection and transcription, however this performs extremely poorly in noisy environments or any kind of muted speech, with near-constant accidental activation. The only efficient way to be always-on AND hands-free was to use a front-end wake-word model to gate the rest of the audio workflow.
Thanks
