    Show HN: SpectroMood, speech emotion detection with a decision model

    SpectroMood is an open-source speech emotion detection system that uses Cloudflare's Clef vision model to classify speaker emotions (angry, fearful, happy, sad, neutral) from audio spectrograms, pitch contours, and loudness measurements compared against each speaker's calm baseline. The system achieved above-chance accuracy across multiple languages by providing explicit visual evidence and emotional context to the model.
