Need to have wake words that are longer - 3 terms in a row about porcupine

[kenarsa]

Thanks, guys for the feedback. We will add this to our feature list for v1.3 release.

What do you mean by ASR on device? the code will be able to run as it is right now with the new logic?

Yes, that is too long for the current version of optimizer available here. Although you can use "open window". I tried it and it works. Would that work for your use case?

Having such long wake-words is not common. But if more developers start asking for it we will consider adding it to our next release.

[kenarsa]

You should be able to use three words as long as it is not too long. For example "a lazy cat" would work. What are the words you are trying to use?

[davidgur111]

for example: "OK OPEN WINDOW". I get it it's too long currently. I guess my question is - is it technical challenge to make the detection work on longer phrases or it's something that can be developed?

Hi @kenarsa
I also looking for such feature .
Thanks

Is it still planned for v1.3

[kenarsa]

ASR: Automatic speech recognition. It will be a different repo/product.

We are going to try to expand the wake-word engine to be able to do longer wake-words. That being said there will be limits. As mentioned wake-word engines are not designed for sentence-like command detection. So if you need to detect "ok robot open the door" this cannot be done with wake-word. Therefore we are building a separate speech recognition engine for it. makes sense?

closing due to inactivity for more than 30 days.

comment: currently it is possible to create wake phrases with short words. If they get too long then it is not. Detection of multiple long words can be done using a speech recognition engine as wake-word engines are not suited for this task.
