Save reusable wake setups and challenge the actual name-and-phrase matcher against calls and near misses before choosing a profile. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Profiles and capture your current Set Up or load the clearly labeled phrase example. 2. Add recognized-text trials with your expected trigger result. Run text rehearsal and compare results across sensitivity levels. 3. Save the rehearsed profile, export its report, or restore its complete setup. Restoring always leaves Earwake disarmed; review Set Up and arm it yourself. Name and phrase listening, sound triggers, wake styles, dismiss challenges and event history remain available. Profiles preserve their settings and add controlled disarmed restoration. WHAT TO KNOW Text rehearsal tests the matcher only. It does not test microphone input, speech recognition, ambient sound detection, volume, alarm delivery or waking reliability. Earwake needs to stay in the foreground to listen. Use a separate reliable alarm for critical wake times. Profiles do not schedule background operation. iPhone and iPad.
