Abstract

Systems and methods for managing multiple wake-word engines are disclosed. An example method can include detecting sound via microphone(s) of a network microphone device (NMD). The NMD uses a first wake-word engine to detect a first wake word in the sound data and a second wake-word engine to detect a second wake word in the sound data. If these two wake words are detected within a first period of time, the NMD disregards both the first wake-word event engine and the second wake-word event and discards the sound data to guard against improper processing of audio following a false-positive wake-word event.
