Wake Word
A “wake word”, also known as a “wake-up word” or a “hot word” is needed for activating appliances, robots, software, mobile apps, etc. It distinguishes between casual conversations and direct commands, switching your device from standby to active listening mode.
When pronounced, the wake word acts as the gateway to human-machine interaction and once the system is fully engaged, it captures the user’s voice input, streamlining the flow of communication without eavesdropping on every conversation. It can either be a word or a phrase.
Just like the word “Alexa” for Amazon and “Hey Siri” for Apple, the wake word is the word that allows you to activate any device, software or smart appliance with your own voice. This technology plays a crucial role in maintaining privacy and enhancing power efficiency. It does so by keeping a device in standby mode, only activating it when the wake word is pronounced. This approach minimizes energy use, leading to a smaller environmental impact.
Getting familiar with the technology
A wake word is the first step in making your device listen, without needing to push a button or touch a screen. Whether it’s a specific single word or a carefully chosen sequence of terms, this command is the signal that activates a dormant device, mobile application, smart appliance or any soft/hardware solution transforming it into an attentive assistant, primed and ready for action.
Our wake word solution meets the precision and privacy standards demanded by businesses. No matter what industry you work in, our solution can be seamlessly integrated across any device or smart appliance, mobile application, robot, etc., ensuring real-time responsiveness without relying on internet connectivity. Choosing Vivoka’s Wake Word solution guarantees unmatched detection accuracy and an unparalleled voice interaction experience.
Unlike cloud based solutions like Siri from Apple or Alexa from Amazon, our voice solutions also work offline, allowing you to activate with your own voice, your smart appliance, mobile app or device everywhere and anywhere.
Speech dictation has made it possible to dictate text effortlessly, transforming speech into accurately punctuated text faster than traditional typing. This innovative approach allows users to dictate their speech easily. Elevating productivity to new heights. With software incorporating voice typing features, the power of speech text conversion is more accessible than ever.
