Wake Word Detection ML Frameworks

Tools and models for detecting custom wake words and hotwords in audio streams, typically optimized for small-footprint/on-device deployment. Does NOT include general speech recognition, speaker verification (unless combined with wake-word detection), or audio classification beyond wake-word triggers.

There are 30 wake word detection frameworks tracked. 2 score above 50 (established tier). The highest-rated is Ant-Brain/EfficientWord-Net at 56/100 with 301 stars.
