Abstract
Described are apparatus, systems, and methods that are operable to periodically detected and record a voice of a user associated with or wearing a wearable device. As described, the wearable device apparatus is configured to transition various components of the device between a low power state and an active state to determine if audio data that includes voice is detected. If voice is not detected, the components are transitioned back to the low power state, thereby conserving power of the wearable device. If voice is detected, the audio data that includes that voice is collected for further processing.
