# andrisgauracs/whistle-esp32

> An independent C99 implementation of the Whistle speech-to-text model running entirely on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller. Hold a button, speak a colour command in one of seven languages, and an onboard LED responds - with no network, cloud, or host computer.

- Magnitude: 3.3 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 118 total · +2 stars measured 2026-10-22, 10:42–12:54 UTC, ≈ 13 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build a fully offline voice-controlled LED on an ESP32-S3 with an INMP441 microphone.
- Test microphone wiring and signal quality with esp32/mic_test and tools/mic_capture.py.
- Run speech-to-text in seven languages directly on a $10 microcontroller for embedded research.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 10:42–12:54: 116 → 118 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 118 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #199.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 18
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 29 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-19 … 2026-10-22: 21, 35, 48, 2

## Spotted in now

- Top new repositories this week: #199

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
