    There’s a difference between a wake word and general purpose speech recognition. A simple wake word can be done in simple hardware on the device, while general purpose speech processing either requires heavy, relatively constant CPU usage, or heavy network traffic to pipe the audio to a server for processing.

      There’s also a third possibility most people ignore for what ever reason…

      Speech-to-text and send to servers. No need for heavy CPU usage that way and don’t need to send MBs of Audio files…

      With the technology we have today it’s easier than ever before… “colgate” and give you right into your face an ad for toothpaste !

      No need for audio or complex processing. All new models come even with AI processor units… Haha ! What a joke !
