+// The EnergyEndpointer class finds likely speech onset and offset points.
+//
+// The implementation described here is about the simplest possible.
+// It is based on timings of threshold crossings for overall signal
+// RMS. It is suitable for light weight applications.
+//
+// As written, the basic idea is that one specifies intervals that
+// must be occupied by super- and sub-threshold energy levels, and
+// defers decisions re onset and offset times until these
+// specifications have been met.  Three basic intervals are tested: an
+// onset window, a speech-on window, and an offset window.  We require
+// super-threshold to exceed some mimimum total durations in the onset
+// and speech-on windows before declaring the speech onset time, and
+// we specify a required sub-threshold residency in the offset window
+// before declaring speech offset. As the various residency requirements are
+// met, the EnergyEndpointer instance assumes various states, and can return the
+// ID of these states to the client (see EpStatus below).
+//
+// The levels of the speech and background noise are continuously updated. It is
+// important that the background noise level be estimated initially for
+// robustness in noisy conditions. The first frames are assumed to be background
+// noise and a fast update rate is used for the noise level. The duration for
+// fast update is controlled by the fast_update_dur_ paramter.
+//
+// If used in noisy conditions, the endpointer should be started and run in the
+// EnvironmentEstimation mode, for at least 200ms, before switching to
+// UserInputMode.
+// Audio feedback contamination can appear in the input audio, if not cut
+// out or handled by echo cancellation. Audio feedback can trigger a false
+// accept. The false accepts can be ignored by setting
+// ep_contamination_rejection_period.
