Abstract: Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a plurality of microphones, sampling, at each of the plurality of microphones of the electronic device, an audio signal to obtain a plurality of audio signals; processing the plurality of audio signals to obtain a plurality of audio streams; and determining, based on the plurality of audio streams, whether any of the plurality of audio signals corresponds to a spoken trigger. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals corresponds to the spoken trigger, initiating a session of the digital assistant; and in accordance with a determination that the plurality of audio signals does not correspond to the spoken trigger, foregoing initiating a session of the digital assistant.

Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for dynamically adjusting a speech trigger threshold, which can be used in triggering a virtual assistant. Audio input can be received via a microphone. The received audio input can be sampled, and a confidence level can be determined of whether the sampled audio input includes a portion of a spoken trigger. In response to the confidence level exceeding a threshold, a virtual assistant can be triggered to receive a user command from the audio input. The threshold can be dynamically adjusted in response to perceived events (e.g., events indicating a user may be more or less likely to initiate speech interactions, events indicating a trigger may be difficult to detect, events indicating a trigger was missed, etc.), thereby minimizing both missed triggers and false positive triggering events.
