The wake-word is different in different regions/languages right? That suggests they either have special silicon for each language (unlikely) or it's programmable. Is it reprogrammable over-the-air? Even if it can't be given more than one wakeword, it could presumably be reprogrammed to use a very common word, like 'the.' When in this surveillance mode it would remain quiet unless you also said the traditional wake word.
- warkdarrior 6y agoThere are some 7000+ languages in the world. Baking recognition for 7000+ words in silicon is not a huge task.
- bigbubba 6y agoI think it's unlikely that's what they actually did.
- sib 6y agoYes, there are multiple different wake words and they can be updated / reprogrammed via firmware updates.
