Flutter Snowboy plugin

This repository contains the source code to the Flutter Snowboy package. Snowboy is a cross-platform DNN-based hotword detection toolkit implemented in C++. This package makes it easy to use Snowboy in your Flutter app.

Currently only iOS and Android are supported.

Models

The Flutter Snowboy package requires a working Snowboy detection model (pmdl) to be useful. To train your own model, clone this repo and follow the instructions.

How to use

Add dependency to project

Add this to the dependencies list in your pubspec.yaml file:

  flutter_snowboy: ">=0.1.2"

Initialize detector

import 'package:flutter_snowboy/flutter_snowboy.dart';

...

// Instantiate
var detector = Snowboy();

// Load model and other resources.
// This is a moderately expensive operation since it involves file I/O.
var success = detector.prepare("/absolute/path/to/model.pmdl");

Start

void hwHandler() {
    print("Hotword detected");
}

detector.hotwordHandler = hwHandler;

// ... get audio data as UInt8List (e.g. via flutter_sound) and feed into
// the detect function. Audio data should be 16 kHz, 16-bit mono PCM.

detector.detect(data);

// ... and hwHandler() gets called when the hotword is detected in audio data.
