Category:Wake words

Wake words, sometimes called key words, are a special category of Speech-To-Text. Wake words are used to "wake" a listening device and start its functions. In most cases these "wake words" are detected locally on devices while actual speech recognition is mostly done by internet cloud services. Mycroft defaults to "Hey, Mycroft" for its wake word, for instance. Some platforms allow for multiple wake words to be used. Coqui STT engine can even be configured as a wake word listener.
