Picovoice

Picovoice is an end-to-end platform for building voice products on your terms. It enables creating voice experiences similar to Alexa and Google. But it entirely runs 100% on-device. Picovoice is

• Private: Everything is processed offline. Intrinsically HIPAA and GDPR-compliant.
• Reliable: Runs without needing constant connectivity.
• Zero Latency: Edge-first architecture eliminates unpredictable network delay.
• Accurate: Resilient to noise and reverberation. It outperforms cloud-based alternatives by wide margins *.
• Cross-Platform: Design once, deploy anywhere. Build using familiar languages and frameworks.

Installation
