Since my frontend implements push to talk, there is no need to use silero ONNX vad model to detect when the user started or stopped talking, it is clear from the pressing and release of the frontend button. On the other hand some STT models want a VAD class provided to the SessionAgent to work. How can I create a custom VAD class to replace silero one ?

Thanks for reaching out, aile. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
To create a custom VAD class to replace the Silero ONNX VAD model, you can extend the base
VAD
class and implement the required methods. Here's a high-level guide: 1. Extend the Base VAD Class: Create a new class that extends the base
VAD
class. 2. Implement Required Methods: Implement the
constructor
,
load
,
stream
, and
updateOptions
methods to initialize and manage your custom VAD. 3. Create a Custom VADStream Class: Implement a
VADStream
class to process audio frames and emit VAD events like
START_OF_SPEECH
and
END_OF_SPEECH
. 4. Process Audio Frames: Add logic in the
processFrames
method of your custom
VADStream
to handle audio frame processing and emit events based on your custom VAD logic. For example, you can define a
CustomVAD
class that initializes your custom model and a
CustomVADStream
class to handle audio processing. Replace the Silero-specific logic with your own model's inference logic. If you need further details or code examples, let me know!
