Hello! I wrote a guide to training your own wake word using precise (I wouldn’t recommend Pocketsphinx), you can find my guide here: GitHub - sparky-vision/mycroft-precise-tips: mycroft-precise-tips

Don’t forget to follow the link in that article to find some helpful recording tips, I don’t recommend using precise-collect. (Which I think the instructions still tell you to do, it’s too…pardon the pun…imprecise to be useful.)

Hope this helps! At least…it might help with the wake word. If you’re having issues with more general speech…I don’t know if this will be useful. Someone else might try to chime in, but an accent that’s too far “off the line” from what the speech engine expects might be quite tricky to solve, at least on the fly.
