Abstract

A system and method performs wakeword detection using a feedforward neural network model. A first output of the model indicates when the wakeword appears on a right side of a first window of input audio data. A second output of the model indicates when the wakeword appears in the center of a second window of input audio data. A third output of the model indicates when the wakeword appears on a left side of a third window of input audio data. Using these outputs, the system and method determine a beginpoint and endpoint of the wakeword.
