- IshKebab 7mo agoAlexa devices have these (or used to at least), but Google Home's never did. So it shouldn't be necessary.
- jcims 7mo agoYeah a small (ideally personalized) wakeword model would probably outperform just about any audio wizardry.
- ethagnawl 7mo agoThat's a good call. I have a PS3(?) mic/camera that I was using when I was running the original Mycroft project on a Pi. I wonder if that would help with the inbuilt HA mic not waking for most of my family, most of the time. I will have to look at my VA Preview device and its specs later because I'm not sure if you can connect an external mic to it out-of-the-box.
