Has anyone run these yet? I'm super interested in having speech to text running as quickly as in there demos. Wake words are also a must now too!

I've played around with willow and it works pretty well, haven't tried the inference server yet.

Have you run into any issues with willow?

I cannot wait for wake words!

It has wake word support already, that's built into the esp32-box

Thanks! I held off on updating for a bit until I sorted out my Zigbee issues. Great news

I had no idea about the esp32-box until I saw this project.... Immediately bought 2 right after lol

I imagine it will be janky at the start but when it matures in a few months, it'll be so awesome

Honestly even from the demo it didn't look that jank! But you're probably right, it's going to be a solid addition once it matures a bit.

Hopefully the home assistant team and the willow team works on closer integration
