Wake word and command dataset

Wake-word models fail in two ways: they miss the trigger at distance and in noise, or they fire on something that merely sounds like it. This set is built around both failure modes — positive triggers across four distances and noise grades, and hard negatives chosen to be confusable.

Questions about this dataset

Yes. The catalog set covers a standard prompt list; a custom wake word or command grammar is a short custom collection using the same protocol and recruitment network.

Phrases chosen to be acoustically close to the trigger — near-homophones, partial matches and common speech that shares its onset — so the model learns to reject them rather than only learning to accept the positive.

Each utterance is captured at a fixed distance of 0.3, 1, 3 or 5 metres, and the distance is recorded in the metadata so you can train and evaluate per condition.
