🛠️ Customization

Adding New Keywords

To add support for additional keywords, you would need to:

1. 1.Fine-tune the model on your custom keyword dataset
2. 2.Update the model configuration
3. 3.Modify the interface labels

Changing Audio Settings

Edit the audio processing parameters in app.py:

# Audio configuration
SAMPLE_RATE = 16000  # Required by the model
MAX_AUDIO_LENGTH = 1.0  # seconds

Interface Customization

Modify the Gradio interface theme and styling in the app.py file to match your branding.
