Voice Assistant Works Without the Wake Phrase

The voice assistant no longer requires the "Hey Maker Studio" wake phrase — just tap the mic and start talking.

What Changed

The voice assistant required you to say "Hey Maker Studio" before every command, which felt awkward when you just wanted to quickly log something.

Before: If you didn't say the wake phrase first, the assistant wouldn't process your speech at all.

Now: The wake phrase is optional. After tapping the mic, you can speak your command directly — a 1.5-second grace period automatically captures your speech without needing the trigger phrase. Say "Hey Maker Studio" if you prefer, or just start talking.
