The device isn’t listening to your words and actively translating them at all times. It’s listening for a pattern. Al-ex-uh, once it hears the right pattern, it switches to listening mode where it can process your command.

It’s kinda like tuning something out, like my kids pretending to be streamers and talking to no one. I am not listening to them and my brain is ignoring their input until they say, “mom.” When they say mom, I know I need to listen to their request.
