When using Google or Amazon assistant, I wish they would do the machine learning on the device. I understand they want to protect their models but just this morning:
Ok Google, what's the time ?
* 2 seconds or so, nothing *
Hey Google, what's the time ?
* Another 2 seconds or so, nothing *
Alexa, what's the time ?
* 2 seconds or so, again *
"Here it currently are the is 9:42 search results for"
What happened ? Network had a hiccup (okay, it sucks), with as a result that Google's connection was blocked for a while, this caused me to repeat the question, which caused Google assistant to resend the query (in other words send a cancel down a tcp connection that hadn't gotten through it's buffer yet, resulting in even more delay). More delay let me to ask alexa instead. Alexa got lucky on the network.
This resulted in Alexa and Google answering at the same time, alexa with the time, google assistant with the search results for "what's the time hey google what's the time alexa what's the time". I was ready to throw things out of the window.
But the root cause of this problem was the delay due to the network.
So PLEASE get local voice transcription going, please ! Save alexa and my phone from getting thrown out the window.
