Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for wake word verification. A method can include receiving, at a server, a message from a device indicating that an utterance of a user-defined wake word was detected at the device, the message including (a) audio samples or features extracted from the audio samples and (b) data indicating the user-defined wake word, retrieving or generating, at the server, a custom decoding graph for the user-defined wake word, wherein the decoding graph and the static portion of the wake word verification model form a custom wake word verification model for the user-defined wake word, executing the wake word verification model to determine a likelihood that the wake word was uttered, and providing a message to the device indicating whether wake was uttered based on the determined likelihood.
