VAD in the client / browser?

[djmaze]

Doing VAD on the server makes up for a lot of unnecessary traffic and server load. Why not do it on the client?

Thanks to wasm, Silero VAD can be run entirely in the browser. I am building a similar project to this and am using https://github.com/ricky0123/vad. Judging by my tests, it works really well on desktop as well as mobile devices.

The main reason is that we use WhisperLive which implements it on the server side, to enable VAD for every client independent from the implementation. We are happy to merge a client side VAD as well, if someone opens a PR.

I'm interested in this. Just gonna post here so I can circle back later and see if there's been progress or I can contribute in some way!
