Mycroft Precise monitors an audio stream (usually a microphone) and when it recognizes a specific phrase it triggers an event. For example, by default users of the Mycroft Voice Assistant are using a Precise model trained to spot the phrase "Hey Mycroft". When Precise recognizes this phrase it puts the Mycroft Voice Assistant into command mode performing speech recognition on whatever is next said by the person using the device. Mycroft Precise is fully open source and can be trained to recognize any short-phrase or sound, from a name to a cough. The default "Hey Mycroft" model is included. To try it out, run: `mycroft-precise.listen /snap/mycroft-precise/current/hey-mycroft/hey-mycroft.pb` **USAGE** Running the listener * `mycroft-precise` - Alias for mycroft-precise.engine * `mycroft-precise.engine` - Run a model on raw audio data from stdin * `mycroft-precise.listen` - Run a model on microphone audio input * `mycroft-precise.listen-pocketsphinx` - Run the PocketSphinx listener Data collection * `mycroft-precise.collect` - Record audio samples for use with Precise * `mycroft-precise.add-noise` - Create a duplicate dataset with added noise Training * `mycroft-precise.train` - Train a new model on a dataset * `mycroft-precise.train-generated` - Train a model on infinitely generated batches * `mycroft-precise.train-incremental` - Train a model to inhibit activation by marking false activations and retraining * `mycroft-precise.train-optimize` - Use black box optimization to tune model hyperparameters * `mycroft-precise.train-sampled` - Train a model, sampling data points with the highest loss from a larger dataset Evaluation and analysis * `mycroft-precise.test` - Test a model against a dataset * `mycroft-precise.test-pocketsphinx` - Test PocketSphinx against a dataset * `mycroft-precise.eval` - Evaluate a list of models on a dataset * `mycroft-precise.calc-threshold` - Update the threshold values of a model for a dataset to make the sensitivity more accurate and linear * `mycroft-precise.graph` - Show ROC curves for a series of models * `mycroft-precise.simulate` - Simulate listening to long chunks of audio to find unbiased false positive metrics Model conversion * `mycroft-precise.convert` - Convert wake-word model from Keras to TensorFlow ### Package name * mycroft-precise --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 18 May 2020 - latest/edge This snap hasn't been updated in a while.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open *Terminal* from the Applications launcher and type the following: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Mycroft Precise To install Mycroft Precise, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install mycroft-precise --edge ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
