A secure wake word allows the device to know who is speaking for enhanced security or personalization
Sensory Secure Wake Words combine wake word detection with built-in speaker verification, ensuring devices respond only when the correct user says the trigger phrase.
Users enroll by repeating a chosen wake phrase just a few times, creating a biometric model that ties the phrase to their voice. From that point on, the device wakes only for that enrolled speaker, entirely on-device, offline, and with minimal power use.
Security can be implemented directly inside the wake word itself for ultra-low power devices, or added as a secondary verification stage at the OS level when stronger authentication is required.
This flexibility makes Secure Wake Words ideal for personal, shared, and security-sensitive devices where privacy, predictability, and low latency matter.
Wake Word Checklist
Wake words that do more than activate devices by confirming who’s speaking, locally and efficiently.
Combines wake word detection with speaker verification in a single flow.
Prevents accidental or unauthorized wake-ups from other voices.
Designed for embedded systems with limited compute and memory.
Voice data never leaves the device.
A simple phrase triggers both activation and identity verification.
For higher-security use cases, Sensory supports a hybrid approach: a first-stage on-device secure wake word followed by an optional second-stage biometric verification on the OS or in the cloud.

Everything You Need to Know
A Secure Wake Word verifies who is speaking in addition to what is said, preventing unauthorized activation.
Yes. Each user enrolls their own voice model by repeating the wake phrase a few times.
No. All processing happens locally on the device.
Yes. Multiple users can enroll separately, allowing personalized access on shared hardware.
Sensory offers an optional hybrid approach that adds a second-stage biometric verification in the cloud after successful on-device authentication.
Speaker verification can be layered onto either a predefined branded wake phrase or a user-defined personalized wake word, allowing manufacturers to choose between brand consistency, personalization, or both.
