Abstract

A system and method performs wakeword detection and automatic speech recognition using the same acoustic model. A mapping engine maps phones/senones output by the acoustic model to phones/senones corresponding to the wakeword. A hidden Markov model (HMM) may determine that the wakeword is present in audio data; the HMM may have multiple paths for multiple wakewords or may have multiple models. Once the wakeword is detected, ASR is performed using the acoustic model.
