> sexism in the voice recognition
What does this mean? Mycroft prefers taking orders from dudes?
What does this mean? Mycroft prefers taking orders from dudes?
When my sister visits, it almost never responded to her for example.
And in my personal experience, I used to have a very deep voice and it always responded to me. I decided I would rather have a more androgynous voice and did some voice training to accomplish that and use a pretty neutral pitch. Now it only responds to my normal voice about 50% of the time, so I intentionally drop my voice an octave whenever I speak to it.
But somehow it's not just about pitch either. I have friends who are trans men, and speak in a deep voice but they still have trouble getting Mycroft to respond.
I wonder if the Mycroft project people are aware of the issue?
Although it hasn't gotten better from my perspective. But until I searched for this, I was totally unaware they've provided an easy way to train your own model for the wakeword! https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/using-mycroft-ai/customiz...
I will have to try that and if I remember I'll update here if it improves my situation in a few days
They have instructions on how to train your own version of the wakeword listener.
