I recently worked on a personal project where I wanted to trigger a sound board using a custom wake word. I had been keeping a keen eye on the work being done for local wake word detection in ESPHome and wondered if I could make use of it in this project. While ESPHome is an amazing project, I actually have a few devices flashed with it in my HA setup, it was more than I needed. This repository is the result of my efforts to make micro wake word a standalone component I could use in my own projects.
