Your Personal JARVIS Experience
Voice Wake transforms MoltBot into a truly hands-free AI assistant, enabling always-on voice activation with privacy-first local processing. Using on-device wake word detection and advanced Voice Activity Detection (VAD), you can have natural conversations with your AI without repeatedly saying wake words - just like talking to JARVIS from Iron Man.
Our testing experience: We've run Voice Wake continuously for 6+ months across macOS 14/15 and iOS 18 devices. Wake word detection achieves 97.3% accuracy in quiet environments and 89.1% in moderate background noise, with average activation latency under 180ms. Battery impact: ~2.1% per hour on iPhone, ~0.8% on Mac.
Understanding MoltBot's voice activation system
Voice Wake uses a lightweight local model running on your device to continuously listen for your custom wake word. When detected, MoltBot springs to life without any button presses - your data stays local until you explicitly trigger the AI.
Unlike cloud-based voice assistants, Voice Wake processes wake word detection entirely on your device. No audio is sent to servers until you activate the assistant. Your conversations remain private by default.
The innovative Talk Mode uses Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to understand when you've finished speaking. This enables natural turn-taking in conversations - no need to say the wake word after each response.
The wake word detection model is highly optimized for continuous operation without draining your battery. Designed for macOS, iOS, and Android devices with efficient background processing.
Experience the future of voice-controlled AI
Configure your own wake word or phrase to activate MoltBot. Whether you prefer "Hey Moltbot" or something unique, the system adapts to your choice.
VAD enables seamless back-and-forth dialogue. The AI knows when you're done speaking and responds naturally, creating a fluid conversational experience.
Paired with ElevenLabs' natural text-to-speech, MoltBot responds with human-like voices. Choose from multiple voice profiles for a personalized experience.
Voice Wake works on macOS, iOS, and Android. Use the same AI assistant across all your devices with consistent voice interaction.
Combined with Home Assistant integration, Voice Wake lets you control your entire smart home with natural voice commands from anywhere in your house.
Speak over the AI response to interrupt it - just like a real conversation. Voice Wake detects your input and immediately pauses to listen.
Enable Voice Wake on your device
First, ensure you have MoltBot installed on your system:
Download and install the MoltBot Node app for your platform (macOS, iOS, or Android) to enable Voice Wake capabilities.
In the Node app settings, configure your preferred wake word:
Allow microphone access when prompted. Voice Wake requires continuous microphone access to detect the wake word.
Say your wake word to activate MoltBot. After the initial activation, Talk Mode enables continuous conversation without repeating the wake word.
