Wake word is not activated by female voice

Hi,
I’m new user of the Mycroft. I installed Picroft one week ago.
I found problem with wake up word and my wife. I’m able to activate Mycroft by wake up word with 99% success.

But Mycroft does not react to wake up word from my wife. She can try different pronunciation, different tones. She tried everything, but she is not able to wake up Mycroft.

I have exactly the same problem as is described here in topic “Wake Word not recognized when spoken by a female”

I have Picroft with default setting of the Mycroft.

I understand that way for me is use custom wake up word. (I want to stay with Precise mode).

I started with Source install:

  1. git clone GitHub - MycroftAI/mycroft-precise: A lightweight, simple-to-use, RNN wake word listener
  2. cd mycroft-precise
  3. ./setup.sh

Points 1 & 2 are successfully done.
But in point 3 I got these error:

(.venv) pi@picroft:~/mycroft-precise $ ./setup.sh

As I understand the problem is with python3-scipy - this addon is not possible to install. I tried install it separately but I got the error above.

Can somebody please help how to solve it? I want to share Mycroft experience with my wife :smile:

I followed these articles:

I had the same issue and it’s disappointing that it’s still present at release.

@sparkyvision linked to a guide on recording your own wake word in this thread:

Update: Sorry, posted before I read your second post. I haven’t tried to train my own wake word yet but I’ll come back if I figure it out.
