Don't listen for wake when speaking

Hi,

Very often, when I send text to /api/text-to-speech, the wakeword is detected.

Would it be possible to not listen for wakeword when speaking ?

I’ve stumble a few times when speaking activated wakeword, which make an intent recognized and speak an answer, and made a loop wakeword/speak/wakeword/speak and could only shutdown rhasspy to stop this !

I really wakeword detection should be pause while speaking.

example:

I hadn’t actually considered this. I’ve pushed a fix into master for all TTS systems that stops the wake word system and then re-enables it after the TTS system has finished speaking.

Are you still using a virtual environment, or are you on Docker now?

Hi, thanks, will help a lot.

I’m now using the docker container. Lot more reliable and stays running.
