Abstract
A method for detecting short-lived repeat voice commands includes activating a set of one or more warm words each associated with a respective action for controlling a long-standing operation performed by a digital assistant. While the digital assistant is performing the long-standing operation, the method includes receiving audio data, and detecting, in the audio data, a warm word from the activated set of one or more warm words. In response to detecting the warm word, the method includes performing the respective action associated with the detected warm word, and activating a set of one or more repeat warm words associated with the detected warm word. The method further includes receiving additional audio data, detecting, in the additional audio data, a repeat warm word from the activated set of one or more repeat warm words, and performing the respective action associated with the detected repeat warm word.
