Exact opposite for me, does a great job at recognizing speech but a horrible job providing answers to even simple questions.

- freyr 11y ago> a horrible job providing answers to even simple questions. If you think of it as a device that performs specific actions (i.e., plays audio, gives a weather forecast, sets a timer, etc.) via an voice interface, rather than a general intelligence that can answer random questions, you're going to have a better time.
- Daneel_ 11y agoTHIS. It baffles me how people expect devices such as the Echo to understand every nuance of human language, then get annoyed when it can't answer your overly-complex or vague question. Voice interfaces for me are always reduced to clearly enunciated and simple commands such as "set timer 10 minutes" or "play album Anjunadeep 4". You'll have a much better time than saying "alexaplaymesomealbumsbyaboveandbyond"
- lsaferite 11y agoWell, in fairness, Google does a much better job than Alexa at 'doing what I want'
- balls187 11y agoEcho has gotten much better at simple questions, and by prefacing "Wikipedia" prior to a query, I find the results satisfactory.
