Wakey Wakey!

Authors

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.
