Abstract

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for context-based wake word threshold modification is provided. The present invention may include receiving an audio data generated by a computing device operating in a sleep mode. The present invention may include processing the received audio data to determine a context associated with a user of the computing device. The present invention may include in response to detecting a potential wake word in the received audio data, calculating a wake word confidence score associated with an accuracy of the detected potential wake word. The present invention may include retrieving a wake word threshold, wherein the wake word threshold is determined based on the context associated with the user of the computing device. The present invention may include, in response to the calculated wake word confidence score exceeding the retrieved wake word threshold, activating a wake mode of the computing device.
