Test in your surroundings
Add the requested sound and background samples. Check recognition and vibration in the place you will use the app, with the device in its usual position.

Download the Android installation file directly. The universal APK is the easiest choice if you do not know your device's architecture. Ordinary sound recognition is available immediately. For names and phrases spoken by different voices, download the languages you need once in the app settings. The original models then work offline. Up to three languages can be stored and unused languages can be removed.
