# openWakeWord – Home Assistant App

![Supports aarch64 Architecture][aarch64-shield] ![Supports amd64 Architecture][amd64-shield]
**openWakeWord** adds wake-word detection to Home Assistant’s voice system. It listens to microphone audio and triggers the voice pipeline when a chosen phrase (the *wake word*) is spoken.

I don't see a good reason why these lines are changed, I'd prefer to keep the title the same style for all apps. Same for the architecture support shields.

Also such content should be in the DOCS.md, which is shown under Documentation tab in Home Assistant.
