My Voice PE is up to date.

Basically I get a match rate of about one in three. I’ve a fairly deep voice, southern English accent I guess. My wife has even less luck. Unfortunately the other two options have way too many false positives.

Are we the only ones to have this problem?
As far as I can tell the signature for “Okay Nabu” hasn’t been updated in a very long time. What’s the policy on improving the fingerprint?

Basically my PE is gathering dust because of this.

(This group really needs better tags)

Well, the radical solution would be to gather your own samples (for everyone in the house), and train your own model. But it's fairly technical way.
Another option is to donate your samples to NabuCasa, so next iteration of the model would be better.

Hey formatBCE. Hope you’re doing well.
Yeah I submitted my samples back in December or so. I’m not convinced they’ve done a new release since then, if GitHub is where they get the data for each release.
Yup I looked at training a model, but it looks far too involved for me.

have you tried other wake words?
have you tried adjusting the wake word sensitivity (added in most recent firmware)?
i had a bit of trouble with "okay nabu" also, (although a biut better since the new adjustment thing). i found slightly changing the way i said it helped though.
instead of "na-boo" you could try "nar-boo" if that makes sense?
