Running Demo Applications

There are two demo applications in the repository. The Activity demo is intended for applications that need to perform voice recognition when in focus. The Service demo is intended for applications that need to do voice recognition and for an extended period of time.

Both applications listen to the wake phrase "Porcupine" and have the "SmartLighting" Rhino context loaded. You can say

Porcupine, turn on the kitchen lights.
