Questions about Hotword Detection
How does the loudness score impact the delay time for initiating speech recognition processing?
The loudness score helps determine the amount of delay time needed before initiating speech recognition processing, ensuring accurate detection of hotwords.
What are the potential challenges in implementing hotword detection on multiple devices simultaneously?
Implementing hotword detection on multiple devices simultaneously may face challenges related to synchronization, network communication, and resource allocation.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for hotword detection on multiple devices are disclosed. in one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, by a computing device, audio data that corresponds to an utterance. the actions further include determining a likelihood that the utterance includes a hotword. the actions further include determining a loudness score for the audio data. the actions further include based on the loudness score, determining an amount of delay time. the actions further include, after the amount of delay time has elapsed, transmitting a signal that indicates that the computing device will initiate speech recognition processing on the audio data.
