## Quick Start

To use the VAD via a script tag in the browser, include the following script tags:

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/onnxruntime-web@1.22.0/dist/ort.wasm.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ricky0123/vad-web@0.0.29/dist/bundle.min.js"></script>
<script>
  async function main() {
    const myvad = await vad.MicVAD.new({
      onSpeechStart: () => {
        console.log("Speech start detected")
      },
      onSpeechEnd: (audio) => {
        // do something with `audio` (Float32Array of audio samples at sample rate 16000)...
      },
      onnxWASMBasePath:
        "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/onnxruntime-web@1.22.0/dist/",
      baseAssetPath:
        "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@ricky0123/vad-web@0.0.29/dist/",
    })
    myvad.start()
  }
  main()
</script>
```
