Wakey Wakey!

I was recently having trouble getting my wake up phrase to work properly in Talon, so I decided to try a phrase I don't use often: Wakey wakey.

It works! And it makes me feel a little silly/giddy every time

wiki wiki | wakey wakey: speech.enable()

What's with the | symbol and the wiki words

The symbol | in a talon command means OR, so if Talon hears wiki wiki or wakey wakey then it will run the speech.enable() command. Talon Voice does a very good job of recognizing fake words such as wakey, but it's also good practice to match what Talon might likely hear, or to pick something that's easier to say.

Update 2025-09-18

Sometimes I'd still hit some misrecognitions by Talon Voice, I've since updated this command to:

mode: sleep
-

(wiki | wakey | wake) (wiki | wakey | wake): speech.enable()

Where each of the words in the parentheses can be used, so if the system hears wake wake or wiki wake or wiki wiki those will all wake up Talon.
