- We've been building towards this project in the previous set of videos. And we're now ready to build our very own DIY Alexa!
All the code for this project is on GitHub - github.com/atomic14/diy-alexa
What are we building - 1:15
Wake Word Detection - 2:27
Command Recognition - 11:47
Digging into the code - 16:30
What's life all about Marvin? - 21:52
To detect the wake words we stream audio from either an I2S microphone or from the ADC. The wake word detector looks at a 1-second window of audio. The spectrogram of the audio is calculated and fed into a TensorFlow Lite model.
Once we detect the wake word we stream the audio up to wit.ai to recognise the user's intent.
It works surprisingly well for such a small model, there are improvements that could be made with more training data.
I'll leave the access token for wit.ai live for as long as I can, but at some point, you will need to generate your own wit.ai application.
Let me know how you get on in the comments!

Hmmm. Alexa has a deep voice.
How you are inputting the voice in the esp32
Thank you so much for this awesome and very educational video... I got my ESP32 recently...
It's time to roll along.!👍
What an insightful project! I really hope to be able to adapt your idea (including some code snippets and likely the TensorFlow model) and come up with my own little ESP32 experiment.
Absolultely amazing, Great work.
You are an absolute genius in my eyes.....
I'm so glad I found your channel!! This is really cool. You've helped free me from my Raspberry Pi dependence.
The ESP32 is an amazing device. Really powerful.
Same case😊
Obrigado pela oportunidade de aprendizado mestre!
Wow. Nice work here.
Amazing, Fantastic thank you very much, really a great project
Very educational. Coming for a ESP32 background I found it very helpful to create a real target for the AI modeling tools. Great introduction.
How to interpret esp32 and this program
Got it working! Now I need to learn how to change the activation word, and how to add multiple activation words that activate different code
Wow!! I didn't think the esp32 had the guts for any AI stuff! Great video!!
It's definitely starting to push the limits - but I think it's easy to forget just how powerful the ESP32 is. One of the problems is the size of the models which can get quite large (relative to the amount of RAM we have to play with). Processing time is also a factor especially when trying to do real time as in this project.
wow, your alexa version, got me speechless.
How to upload program to esp32
Really fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing.
I've a follow on question if you don't mind.. I see you using the Arduino framework, but also have the esp IDF icon in platform Io. Do you have any particular preference? I'm considering switching to the IDF as I'm already using xtimers. I like the idea of know control, but also like the easy access to the Arduino ecosystem of libraries..
I've been mixing in quite a lot of functions from the IDF with my Arduino code. But it seems the IDF that comes with Arduino is now quite out of date. I've been trying to get Arduino working as a component in the IDF so I can use the latest IDF but still take advantage of the Arduino eco system but I've not had much luck. For my Asteroids game I did it all in the IDF - mainly because I wanted to use the PSRAM with malloc and there's not way to do that when using Arduino. But I really missed simple things like uploading firmware OTA - especially with my custom board not having a USB port...
I think, unless there's a compelling reason (APIs that aren't available from the IDF when using Arduino) then I'd be tempted to stick with Arduino. If you aren't using any libraries or you can easily port them over then IDF is definitely worth giving a go. But, I don't think there are any huge advantages to it.
this channel was really helpful to understand many edge ai related concepts, thank you @atomic14.
Thanks for the kind words - much appreciated!

Thanks for the sub!
Very cool!
sorry i know this might be late but I am replicating a similar project. Did you use the ESP32 to capture the audio signal? My esp32 doesn't have enough memory to capture enough data.
Thanks alot brother
absolutly amazing.. you do great things,.. you are smart.. its chalange me to make it one
You should definitely go for it - report back on how you get on.
Hi There!
Nice Work, Is it possible to run a TensorFlow object detection model like MobileNET on ESP32? OpenMV has this capability using TFLite library, but I am interested in running object detection on ESP32 which is very low cost compared, thanks!
This is awesome.. thinking to implement this on a custom dataset, and this model looks light weight as well.. can be implemented in real time I guess
It's amazing what you can do with quite a small model. I have seen that the micro-speech example in the main TensorFlow codebase is now available for the ESP32 - might be worth taking a look at that as well.
EXCELLENT!
Great video and project. This is my next project. Thank you !
Let us know how you get on!
Hey, this one's awesome :')
Спасибо за видео. Было интересно.
Hello, nice project, can i use esp 32 cam??
Amazing !!!
Thanks for this! Amazing work! I had few questions and would be helpful if you could reply. Can we use this procedure to build the same for esp32s3? It seems you used arduino framework which i checked and is not up yet on vscode. Any other approaches to build this firmware on esp32s3?
Also , do we have info on KWS model #computations? Based on few algorithms papers which are validated on Google speech data set, it is always a trade off bw accuracy and total computations so wanted to know the procedure used to select an algorithm.
Last question, can we build any tflite model using the tflm framework?
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
I thought your gonna be using a Raspberry pi. Speechless... Im gonna make one like u .
@Taylor Van i have got many messages like these. They ask you for money and once you give, they dont give you the account you wanted to hack
can you integrate with ChaGPT? would be super amazing!
You should mix the audios with noise background at out side than use them for training because adding _background folder with training data is bad choices.
Спасибо Большое
At the end please what are you uploading as code in the esp 32 that will run your entire system
what's kind of software that you use in 3:58, the wave and spectrogram comes realtime?
Hey! great work dude!! could we implement the simple command like "turn off the light" offline, just like the wake word detection?
I'm looking at this right now - it is a more difficult problem than the simple wake word detection. The model needs to have an output for each possible command word which means it is a larger model so will take longer to run on the ESP32. Hopefully, I'll be able to do another video soon showing it working - though just to be clear, this would be very limited commands - like: "on", "off", "left", "right" etc...
Wow wtf!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
do you know if i can use dialogflow to control devices that are connected to google home?
Do you think it's possible to train the model so it can detect a ringtone?
I had to login to my other account to give this video another like, this was incredible!
How hard would it be to extend the model to have some amount of offline NLP so we don’t have to rely on Facebook?
I'm having a look at that right now, got slightly sidetracked looking at building an AGC. It's possible to a limited extent, the command dataset does contain some other words that we can try using. Getting performance from a small enough model looks doable. Hopefully should have something up this week,
Hi, as others already mentioned...great work, great video. BTW, would it make sense to use other ESP32 Hardware with included Mic/Speaker like Atom Echo?
I don't see why not - you may need to modify the code to use whatever pins and interface the Atom Echo uses for the microphone and speaker. It should work really well.
@@atomic14 My AtomEcho arrived and I will give you feedback about the results. BTW, where should we discuss the technical aspects? TH-cam or Git? Thx
Probably best on GitHub as we can share code snippets a bit more easily.
@@atomic14 Should I create a separate branch (to avoid poluting your code)
@@shufnagl You'll need to fork the repository and then you can do pull requests back to my code - there's a good guide here - github.com/firstcontributions/first-contributions Looking forward to seeing what you do!
What is the distance for the microphone to be able to catch the voice ?
Pretty cool stuff:). I want to make my own wake-up word detection system using a custom audio dataset. Let's say my wake-up word is "Hey Marvin" which is I assume is longer than 1 second? How many data points can be decent enough to train the model? and since I will use google speech dataset to add noise for better accuracy , do you think time frame of 1 second will matter here?

Can this project be implemented using arduino BLE 33 Sense?
Hi! Can I use ESP 32 Cam instead of ESP32? Thanks!
hi sir, I have one more doubt that what at this timing 16:13 you used as the terminal, I tried many ways to run the link(I have used my own recording, saved in desktop and pasted the path) which I got from my wit.ai account in my window's terminal, but it didn't work. And I also tried to find many other ways to do that, but nothing worked. So, please reply as soon as possible.
Great video! What I don’t understand (Im at the basic of TF) why we need to use a cloud service AI when we are trying to make an edge device? So in other word we are losting the advantage to realize an edge system if we need a cloud service. So I could avoid the lite model and make all the stuff in the cloud using the esp32 as audio transmitter. I hope I understood well the purpose of facebook service. Thanks.
Hi Dario, that is a very good question. One of the issues with using the ESP32 as an audio transmitter and doing the wake detection in the cloud is privacy concerns - you really want the user to be in charge of when the device is actively listening and sending your data to a third party service. So you really want the device doing the wake word detection and only sending audio data to the internet once the wake word has been detected. Currently, doing full intent recognition on the edge is too difficult on a device like the ESP32 - however, there is software for the raspberry pi that looks very promising - rhasspy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Your answer was very helpful to me. Thank you very much.
Thanks! Very much appreciated!
Also many thanks as didn't realise tensorflow was and will do the job on an ESP32. There is a lack of opensource linux beamforming algs, which you have probably just solved.
Esp32 is so relatively cheap that a distributed microphone array where the mic with highest keyword match is used for that ASR session.
Vosk has a streaming API alphacephei.com/vosk/ just needs a streaming RTP protocol with current keyword match info and no beamforming needed as nearest mic automatically used...
Sounds interesting - the only issue you may start to hit performance issues with processing multiple microphones at once. Currently the wake word detection takes around 100ms so you may start running out of CPU time with more than one or two microphones. You might also hit memory issues with the audio buffering - though using a wrover module might fix this.
@@atomic14 I dunno thought I would ask you as a total noob with ESP32 but on linux irrespective of process power we still lack opensource beamforming. The pulseaudio addition just doesn't work, don't think it ever did prob hence why upstream its been dropped from webrtc.
What I am thinking is that we are not 'processing' multiple microphones at once the I2S data for mono is just doubled and the L/R hi/lo word select is not used.
A single channel would be fed into a delay buffer and then I guess just summed with the inverse of the current value of the other channel?
It is really a single channel in a short delay ring buffer of the speed of sound distance and what is present on the other I2S is just subtracted.
For a noob who is blankly staring blankly at a $5 aliexpress wrover and brief journey of documentation it makes curious if you could with 2x cores but to be honest yet haven't a clue how :)
I can not even work out if http streams are just client or you can create a server stream or if you could present AMR-WB on a port?!?
Just got my fingers crossed it might perk your interest.
@@atomic14 PS the lack of beamforming was that each ESP32 could be a streaming KWS to a central ASR.
Broadcast from KW to silence with some metadata of KW hit score and a central ASR would be able to use best KW hit score so an array of esp32s could be a distributed array with best and nearest always used.
Marvelous content, thank you very much!

How to upload program to esp32
Hey can you tell me how to program the esp 32 and where is the final code
Hi sir,
Thank you for the great video.
My teammates and I are trying to make similar project to yours. But I would like to ask you how did you linked the python code with the C code. Also, how did you upload the code on the ESP32? was the C code or the python code?
Did you solve it?
@@davidfa7363 No
Same doubt
Mr. atomic14 really impressive. Since you are very good at programming can you help us reprogram the HLK-V20 speech recognition？ It is a very cheap chip - three dollars - which provides offline speech recognition, but its manufacturer does not explain how it is programmed. (There is also the SU-10A which is the same from a different manufacturer.)
can this be done in an other language other than english ?
Can I have circuit diagram, please
This is probably a silly question, but why did you take the log(audiodata) after audio normalization? Would it be superior to swap those operations?
Hey John, definitely not a silly question, the audio is normalised and then we calculate the spectrogram of the normalised audio. The log operation is applied to the spectrogram output. The spectrogram can end up with some very large values and the log operation brings them down into a more sensible range for the neural network to train against.
I can't compile this application with Arduino IDE. I made the necessary file edits.
the voice from those meme videos 😂
in which language this works on? python
How can I navigate the dataset plz? Actually, I can't find it
Is it possible to use a pre-trained voice model and install it on a device (like a model of a famous person, perhaps)? If so, how would we do this?
The ESP32 isn’t really powerful enough to do that locally. But there are APIs that you can call that will do Text To Speech (TTS). And some of them offer custom voices.
i am not getting audio output please help ...
The following question may falls below the standard of your channel, but since you introduced me to jupyter notebook, i have to know, which software you are using for presentation.
This is not Powerpoint, is it?
I use a bit of a mix for videos - I'm on a Mac so use Keynote (the Mac equivalent of Powerpoint). I've been trying to learn the manim library which is what the guy who does 3Blue1Brown uses. I've also got my own homegrown animation library that I use for some things - but it's definitely not really ready. I've used Apple Motion for a couple of videos, there is quite a learning curve with it and I'm nowhere near proficient.

How do you get so many examples of the word Marvin?
Weirdly, it was in the training data. I guess the people who compiled the audio samples were fans of Douglas Adams.
You didn't really mention the size of the project. What is the expected memory footprint of the Flashed program?
It uses about 1,1Mbytes of flash. When running memory is tight, making the HTTPS connection to Wit.ai leaves about 30K of RAM.
@@atomic14I'm working on a project right now where just Wifi and BLE implemented is soaking up about 1.5M of flash. As long as the entire project remains below about 3M then OTA continues to be possible in the WROM32 with 16M flash. I was most concerned about OTA memory space.

I need a off-the-grid system, not using a voice recognition service from Facebook. Who knows what Zuckerberg is going to do with your data. Also, as I see in the demo, the is a quite a significant delay, like 3 seconds. One of the reasons why I want to create my own is that I don't like the delay of Google Home.
I don't know how other people use the the voice assistance, but I have found that they are dumb. Not really "A.I.", but just scripted responder by some programmers. So, I don't really try to "speak" to it, but just say some fixed-structure phrases that I know it will understand, like "turn on the light", etc. In short, all I need is speech to text. If I could get a string like "turn on the light", I could parse it and turn on the light myself. Is ESP32 powerful enough to convert speech to text on its own?
Is there any chance this could work with ESP8266 instead of the ESP32?
I think that might be difficult - it is pretty much pushing the limits of the ESP32.
everything is ok but......
for file_name in tqdm(get_files("_problem_noise_"), desc="Processing problem noise"):
process_problem_noise(file_name, words.index("_background"))

Hi there, the problem noise files are options (as are the mar sound files). I just recorded some additional audio of my office noises that seemed to be confusing the neural network. You can either add a folder yourself and record some audio or you can comment out that section of the notebook.
