Show HN: Earshot – old smartphone can listen to smoke alarm, doorbell or doghttps://tryearshot.net/index.html
TLDR: I’m building Earshot - the sound detection app that can detect (ideally) any sound described by text. The neural model under the hood is a CLAP-style model (CLIP for audio): basically during the training you force the model make inner text and audio representations to match. And then you can use such model as 0-shot audio classifier. For POC I used LAION’s clap-htsat model but it turned out to be quite "heavy" so I’ve trained a smaller one by myself. As for text encoder I used model from the EfficientAT family; for audio I used jhu-clsp/ettin-encoder-32m. The training was performe…

Nexus is basically a daemon that runs and routes messages to where they need to be, it is fully customizable, which you can write scripts off of so that it will wake agents or route that message to an already existing agent.
