User Defined Trigger Word Detection

 

Introduction

The User Defined Trigger Word Detection (UTWD) engine provides the function that determines whether there is a specific word in the speech made by the user just like the ETWD engine. However, the UTWD engine can register the words that the user wants unlike the ETWD engine which registers pre-defined words. The user can register their own words by entering text and making speeches and use them.

This engine determines whether the speech contains the word that the user specified, and informs of the result as “Yes” or “No”. For example, it will be useful if the user can use any name he/she wants, such as “Hi, Choco”, instead of “Hi, LG”, which is a designated expression used as a trigger word for smart speakers or home appliances.

In order to register a word using a voice, the user must perform the speech registration 4 times in total.

 

The UTWD engine provided by LG AI Platform supports the following features:
