Teachable Machine lets you train a model with your webcam or microphone. You show it examples of images, sounds or poses, press train, and the model learns to recognize them, all in a few minutes and without writing code.
Seeing it learn from your own examples is the point. Hold up a mug and a pen, label them, and watch it tell them apart. It is a great way to understand both the power and the limits of machine learning.
It is from Google. The tool asks for access to your camera or microphone, so expect a permission prompt. We have not confirmed how well it works on mobile. Related: /site/tensorflow-playground and /category/ai-bots. Plan on about 5 min. We have not confirmed how well it works on phones.
Tips for getting the most out of it
- Allow camera or microphone access when asked.
- Give each class several different examples.
- Test with objects it has not seen.
