Picovoice Shepherd

Made in Vancouver, Canada by Picovoice

Picovoice Shepherd is the first no-code platform for building voice interfaces on microcontrollers. It enables creating voice experiences similar to Alexa that run entirely on microcontrollers. Picovoice Shepherd accelerates prototyping, mitigates technical risks, and shortens time to market. Paired with Picovoice Console users can deploy custom voice models into microcontrollers instantly.

The default Python installation options do not add it to the Windows PATH variable. To fix the issue, refer to the Python Docs.
