Abstract

Features are disclosed for detecting words in audio using environmental information and/or contextual information in addition to acoustic features associated with the words to be detected. A detection model can be generated and used to determine whether a particular word, such as a keyword or “wake word,” has been uttered. The detection model can operate on features derived from an audio signal, contextual information associated with generation of the audio signal, and the like. In some embodiments, the detection model can be customized for particular users or groups of users based usage patterns associated with the users.
