Hi @JGKK,  
Thanks for joining this discussion, and sharing your experiences!!

Last week I announce a beta version of my [node-red-contrib-ui-media-recorder](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-ui-media-recorder-beta-version/19130). I want to add also microphone capture to that node (based on the [MediaRecorder API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaStream_Recording_API)), which could help us for this purpose...

Very interesting! But unfortunately this is way out of my comfort zone. 🥴  
If you would find some spare time to explain - in dummy language - how you have accomplished this, that would be appreciated! This forum has a "_share your project_" category that would be ideal 😉

Such a wake-word detection baked into my node would be an awesome feature...
