Silence Detection in the Wit.AI iOS SDK (opens in new tab)

This sort of thing often doesn't work for me because, well,

hmmm.

Because I have to pause in the middle of a sentence sometimes to, ah,

um

. . . gather my thoughts.

I'm looking forward to when the AI is smart enough to know that I'm just a slow speaker when I'm using voice search or whatever.

Also, I started to work on a full Voice Activity Detection algorithm that will work client side. I can't wait to see it live and get user feedback!

Oh. this is awesome. Very much so looking forward to integrating this into some of the home automation stuff I'm doing.
