Feature description

Hello Espressif Team,

I am working on an ESP32-Korvo V1.1 voice assistant project using ESP-SR and WakeNet9.

The built-in wake word "Hi ESP" is working correctly with the model:

wn9_hiesp

However, I would like to replace it with a custom wake word:

"Hi Rivi"

This project is being developed for Rivinnov and the wake word will be used in an embedded commercial prototype.

Could you please let me know:

1. Is it possible to obtain a custom WakeNet9 model for "Hi Rivi"?
2. Is there a public training tool available?
3. If not, what is the official process for requesting a custom WakeNet model?

Target:

• ESP32
• ESP32-Korvo V1.1
• ESP-SR WakeNet9
• ESP-IDF v5.0.8

Thank you very much for your support.

Use cases

I am developing a voice-controlled embedded application using ESP-SR and WakeNet9 on the ESP32-Korvo V1.1 development board.

The current WakeNet model "Hi ESP" works correctly, but commercial products generally require their own branding and a custom wake word.

A custom model such as "Hi Rivi" would allow developers to build branded voice assistants without changing hardware or software architecture.

This feature would benefit many companies using ESP32 products, since each product typically requires its own activation phrase instead of "Hi ESP".

Alternatives

Currently the only available alternative is to keep using the built-in "Hi ESP" wake word, which is not appropriate for commercial products.

Changing the wake word cannot be achieved by modifying the source code because the wake word is embedded in the trained WakeNet neural network.

At the moment I have not found a public tool for training custom WakeNet9 models.

Additional context

Current setup:

• ESP32-Korvo V1.1
• ESP32
• ESP-IDF v5.0.8
• ESP-SR WakeNet9
• Current model: wn9_hiesp

The live wake word detection is already working correctly on the hardware.

I would like to know whether:

• a custom WakeNet9 model for "Hi Rivi" can be generated;
• there is a public training tool available;
• or if Espressif provides an official customization service for WakeNet models.

Thank you for your support.
