Abstract
A user device (e.g., voice assistant device, voice enabled device, smart device, computing device, etc.) may receive/detect audio content (e.g., speech, etc.) that includes a wake word and/or words similar to a wake word. The user device may require a wake word, a portion of the wake word, or words similar to the wake word to be detected prior to interacting with a user. The user device may, based on characteristics of the audio content, determine if the audio content originates from an authorized user. The user device may decrease and/or increase scrutiny applied to wake word detection based on whether audio content originates from an authorized user.
