@diazona @shannonpersists I recently considered getting a custom wakeword. The hardware vendor says they will need at least 20000 recordings from at least 500 speakers of all ages under various (specified) conditions. It would take several weeks to train the model and cost <contact sales> dollars. Reader, I did not contact sales because by that point I suspected the fifty four cents I had to hand would not suffice.

 @Unixbigot @shannonpersists 😂 I suspect you are right. I used to work at a voice recognition company, and one of the services we offered was custom wakewords. The kinds of clients that took us up on that offer had (many-)multi-million dollar contracts. Of course they were paying for a lot more than the custom wakeword, but the cost of training a wakeword model is definitely substantial.  @Unixbigot @diazona @shannonpersists |
@Unixbigot @diazona @shannonpersists Oh, it depends on how skilled a salesdroid you get. You may find yourself happily dancing away waving a signed contract that accepts your 54c... as a first installment.
