  • Publication number: 20250363989
    Abstract: A device is configured to detect multiple different wakewords. A device may operate a joint encoder that operates on audio data to determine encoded audio data. The device may operate multiple different decoders which process the encoded audio data to determine if a wakeword is detected. Each decoder may correspond to a different wakeword. The decoders may use fewer computing resources than the joint encoder, allowing for the device to more easily perform multiple wakeword processing. Enabling/disabling wakeword(s) may involve the reconfiguring of a wakeword detector to add/remove data for respective decoder(s). Specific decoders may be activated/deactivated depending on device context, thereby efficiently managing device resources.
