Where the two meet
Wake-word false accepts and rejects spike on Indian phonetics That is a accent adaptation problem, and it is solved by data shaped like this:
- Accent-band balanced speech with substrate-language tags
- Matched content across bands for controlled comparison
Your evaluation criteria
- Can recordings be captured at the distances and conditions the device sees?
- Are entity-heavy prompt sets available (names, addresses, PIN codes, amounts)?
- Can negative wake-word data be collected alongside positives?
Metrics
- Per-accent WER spread
- Regression on the original accent set
Pitfalls
- Treating Indian English as one accent
- No substrate tagging, so the model cannot be evaluated per band
Contract points
- Device-specific recording conditions
- Exclusive use of the collected wake-word data
- Staged delivery per firmware milestone
