Ignore WakeWord after it's said

[Extra]

Hello,

I added a wakeword to my voice assistant but now when I say a command like: "Who is Albert Einstein", It searches with the wake word in the command, like so: "Baxter who is Albert Einstein", instead of just searching "who is Albert Einstein".

How can I ignore the wakeword so once I say it, it takes in my commands without concatenating the wakword to it?

Thanks in advance.

On line 82 it looks like you've got the command string. Check to see if that starts with the wake word and slice it out.

No luck. It didn't work.
