I got a number of ESP32’s and they work really well. With a little effort I was able to get about a 95% success rate with the wake word. However sometimes it doesn’t understand me. I would like to just shorten the response to simply “sorry” instead of hearing “sorry I couldn’t understand that”. Does anyone know how to do that or if it’s possible?

In your config directory create a new directory structure: custom_sentences/en/ (replace en with your language code if different).
In this dir create a create a file named _common.yaml and add this code.
Note I also shortened the Sorry, I am not aware of any device called .... response when the entity is not found.
language: "en"
responses:
errors:
no_intent: "Sorry"
no_entity: "No device called {{ entity }}"
Then restart Home Assistant

The default Sorry, I couldn't understand that message seems to be the no_intents ‘General errors’ which you see at the top of that file.
