IIRC, the perfect examples where you neither say "Alexa" or "Hey Google" aren't going to happen any time soon - those recognition phrases are hard-coded for performance reasons, and adding custom ones will be difficult.
- 0942v8653 10y agoI think "[keyword]" is meant as a placeholder for either "Alexa" or "Hey Google".
- nl 10y agoThat's not true. Most conversational platforms do use a separate "trigger word" subsystem which has a much smaller vocabulary and is optimized for the low power, always on scenario. But the trigger words aren't hard coded - for example on the Motorola X series you could (can?) customize the trigger phrase: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/indevice_detail/a_id/101031/p/30,6720,9197 https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/inde...
- ohyeshedid 10y agoPerformance may be a small part of it, but it's more about branding. The trigger word is the brand, the functionality is the product.
- agildehaus 10y agoPrivacy reasons as well. Every ounce of what you say after "Alexa" or "OK, Google" is submitted to Amazon/Google. I don't see them changing this ever, so having a recognition phrase is perfectly fine by me.
