The wake word detection is an interesting problem here. As you can see in the repo, I have a lot of mis-heard versions of the wake word in place, in this case being "Raspberry". Since the system heats up fast you need a fan, and with the microphone directly on a USB port next to the fan, I needed something distinct, and computer wasn't cutting it for this.

Changing the transcription model to something a bit better or moving the mic away from the fan could help this happen.

Have a look at the openWakeWord model which is especially built for detecting wakewords in a stream of speech.
