On device wake word on ESP32-S3 is here - Voice: Chapter 6

I have it working on a waveshare S3 mini

with Microphone only version of the firmware from here.

I have tried the firmware with the speaker and it appears to not recognise the wake word with that firmware. I have not had a lot of time to play yet with the speaker. I have also ordered some N16R8 S3’s as the memory size is important apparently. This is not my field of expertise but I am making progress.
