Porcupine
A highly-accurate, lightweight, on-device wake word detection engine powered by deep learning.
What is Porcupine?
Porcupine is an on-device wake word detection engine that enables voice-activated applications without requiring an internet connection. It uses deep neural networks to accurately recognize predefined or custom voice commands (like "Hey Siri" or "Alexa") on devices ranging from microcontrollers to web browsers. It solves the need for private, low-latency voice interfaces in IoT, mobile, and embedded systems.
Developers building voice-enabled applications for IoT devices, smart home products, mobile apps, and web applications who require offline, privacy-preserving wake word detection.
Porcupine offers superior accuracy and speed compared to alternatives, supports a wide range of platforms out of the box, and allows custom wake word training—all while running entirely on-device for maximum privacy and reliability.
