Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for determining a probability that a prospective wakeup or activation word is not an actual wakeup or activation word for a user device but instead is a word that has characteristics of, or otherwise sounds similar to, a wakeup or activation word and is received as a result of output of a content asset as opposed to being spoken by a user of the user device. Audio data associated with output of a content asset may be received and evaluated to determine if a prospective wakeup word in the audio data is an actual wakeup word or is, instead, not a wakeup word.
