+# microWakeWord Trainer Docker
+
+Easily train wake word detection models with this pre-built Docker image.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed on your system.
+- An NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (optional but recommended for faster training).
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Follow these steps to get started with the microWakeWord Trainer:
+
+### 1. Pull the Pre-Built Docker Image
+
+Pull the Docker image from Docker Hub:
+
+```bash
+docker pull masterphooey/microwakeword-trainer
+```
+
+### 2. Run the Docker Container
+Start the container with a mapped volume for saving your data and expose the Jupyter Notebook:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+    --gpus all \ 
+    -p 8888:8888 \
+    -v $(pwd):/data \
+    masterphooey/microwakeword-trainer
+```

+    -p 8888:8888 \
+    -v $(pwd):/data \
+    masterphooey/microwakeword-trainer
+--gpus all: Enables GPU acceleration (optional, remove if not using a GPU).
+-p 8888:8888: Exposes the Jupyter Notebook on port 8888.
+-v $(pwd):/data: Maps the current directory to the container's /data directory for saving your files.
+```
+
+### 3. Access Jupyter Notebook
+
+Open your web browser and navigate to:
+```bash
+http://localhost:8888
+```
+The notebook interface should appear.
+
+### 4. Edit the Wake Word
+
+Locate and edit the second cell in the notebook to specify your desired wake word:
+```bash
+target_word = 'khum_puter'  # Phonetic spellings may produce better samples
+```
+Change 'khum_puter' to your desired wake word.
+
+### 5. Run the Notebook
+Run all cells in the notebook. The process will:
+
+Generate wake word samples.
+Train a detection model.
+Output a quantized .tflite model for on-device use.
+
+### 6. Retrieve the Trained Model
+Once the training is complete, the quantized .tflite model will be available for download. Follow the instructions in the last cell of the notebook to download the model.
