Frequently asked questions

Will it work if the internet goes down?

Yes. All voice commands are processed locally, so core functionality works even during outages. While billing and updates require connectivity, the voice control itself doesn't depend on the cloud.

Can I use my own wake word and voice commands?

Yes. With Picovoice Console, developers can create custom wake words like "Hey Casa" and define voice commands using a browser-based interface—no machine learning background required.

Does it support multiple languages or accents?

Yes—Picovoice offers multilingual support and is trained on a wide range of global accents. This ensures consistent performance across diverse households, from New York to New Delhi.

Which platforms are supported?

Picovoice works on embedded Linux, microcontrollers, web browsers, Android, iOS, and edge devices. No matter what smart home product you're building, we've got the platform covered.
