Mixing Custom and Built-in Models

[asktimfisher]

Is there a way to mix custom and built in models? Specifically, I'd like to load 2 custom models and 1 built-in one. I know how to do either all built-in or one+ custom but unsure how to pull this off.

This is certainly possible, though I'll admit it is a bit intuitive. You can load as many models as you like, including both custom and built-in models as long as you provide the full model paths. For example:

from openwakeword.model import Model

# Instantiate the model(s)
model = Model(
    wakeword_models = ["/path/to/my_custom_model1.tflite", "/path/to/my_custom_model2.tflite", "/path/to/builtin/model.tflite"]
)

For the built-in models, you can either find the location of the model inside of your local Python packages location, or just download them manually from here so they are easier to work with.

Great! Thanks so much!
