SPEAR-SDK-Python-Linux is SPEAR's software development kit that allows you to integrate SPEAR-ASR and SPEAR-WakeUp to voice-enable your Python applications in Linux. The SPEAR-ASR engine will terminate after 10 minutes of processing speech. SPEAR-WakeUp will not terminate after 10 minutes. For continuous operation, contact us at [email protected].
