Getting familiar with the technology

What is a Wake Word?

The Wake Word is the first element of an end-to-end voice interaction. You surely are most aware of wake words associated with popular voice assistants such as Siri, Google or Alexa.

This technology is used to literally “wake” the assistant by listening for a single word of phrase.

Once it is detected, the assistant knows that it has to process the voice commands coming right after.
