Learn how to train VIVE AI voice recognition for accurate wake word detection and hands-free voice commands on VIVE Eagle, HTC’s AI smart glasses device. Proper voice training helps VIVE AI recognize your voice more reliably when using features such as voice commands, visual AI, translations, memory recall, and voice recordings.
Training VIVE AI voice recognition helps your VIVE Eagle smart glasses better recognize your voice when you use the wake word. Completing voice training during setup can improve wake word detection and provide a more consistent hands-free experience when interacting with VIVE AI.
Why train VIVE AI?
Voice training allows VIVE AI to learn your voice characteristics so it can respond when you say the wake word. After training, you can activate VIVE AI without pressing any buttons and use voice commands for supported features.
Examples of actions you can perform with voice commands include:
- Taking photos
- Recording videos
- Recording voice notes
- Translating visible text
- Reading text aloud
- Describing objects, locations, or scenes
- Saving and recalling memories
- Using supported smart assistant integrations on your phone
When voice training occurs
Voice training is part of the first-time setup process for VIVE Eagle using the VIVE Connect app. After pairing your glasses, entering your preferred name, and completing the initial onboarding steps, you'll be prompted to train VIVE AI with your voice. This training enables wake word activation using "Hey VIVE."
Before you begin
Make sure that:
- Your VIVE Eagle glasses are paired with the VIVE Connect app.
- Initial device setup has been completed up to the voice training step.
- The glasses are powered on and being worn.
- You're in a reasonably quiet environment with minimal background noise.
Train VIVE AI during initial setup
- Open VIVE Connect and complete the first-time setup process for your VIVE Eagle.
- Pair the glasses with your phone when prompted.
- Enter and confirm the name you want VIVE AI to use.
- Tap Next to begin wake word training.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to train VIVE AI to recognize your voice.
- Complete the training process for the "Hey VIVE" wake word.
- Continue through the remaining setup screens, including permissions and onboarding tutorials.
After training is complete, you can activate VIVE AI by saying:
"Hey VIVE"
Retrain VIVE AI to recognize your voice
If VIVE AI has difficulty recognizing your wake word, or if you want to improve recognition accuracy, you can retrain your voice profile.
- Connect VIVE Eagle to VIVE Connect.
- In VIVE Connect, go to VIVE AI > Wake word.
- Tap Retrain.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to complete voice training again.
Change the wake word
VIVE AI supports selectable wake words. When you choose a wake word for the first time, you may be asked to complete voice training for that wake word.
- Connect VIVE Eagle to VIVE Connect.
- Go to VIVE AI > Wake word.
- Select a wake word from the available options.
- If prompted, complete the voice training process.
Test voice recognition
After training, try one of the following commands:
- "Hey VIVE, take a photo."
- "Hey VIVE, record a video."
- "Hey VIVE, read this."
- "Hey VIVE, translate this."
- "Hey VIVE, what is this?"
If VIVE AI responds correctly, voice recognition has been successfully configured.
Tips for better recognition
For the best results:
- Speak naturally and clearly when training your voice.
- Use the glasses in an environment with minimal background noise whenever possible.
- Wear the glasses normally when using voice commands.
- Make sure your phone remains connected to VIVE Connect when using VIVE AI features that require connectivity.
- Keep the VIVE AI language consistent with supported assistant and app language settings when applicable.
