Wake Word Creator: Custom Offline Wake Word Models

October 8, 2026

Wake Word Creator lets anyone create their own wake word — the "Hey ..." phrase that wakes up a voice assistant — without collecting a dataset or training a model by hand.

How it works

  1. Type an English phrase.
  2. Pick the pronunciation you want.
  3. The platform generates a custom wake word model for that phrase.

The output is a signed .wake package. It ships with a runtime that runs fully offline on Linux and Windows and emits a JSON event whenever the wake word is detected, so it is easy to plug into any app or device.

Why

Wake word detection that runs locally keeps audio on the device. This project packages the whole workflow — from phrase to deployable model — into a self-serve tool.
