+          sample_rate:
+            Sample rate of the training data used to train the model.
+          feature_dim:
+            Dimension of the feature used to train the model.
+          enable_endpoint_detection:
+            True to enable endpoint detection. False to disable endpoint
+            detection.

+            Used only when enable_endpoint_detection is True. If the duration

+            detected.

+            Used only when enable_endpoint_detection is True. If the utterance
