Maybe so but it has been months now since the last time my smartphone detected my screaming "OK Google" at it. No reboot, resets or recording sessions with different tones could fix it.
Admittedly, I am singling out one app on one phone and I don't know how Alexa, Sir and others perform but I remain unconvinced by all those AI and the current assistant tech.
- ghaff 9y agoThe microphones on the home devices definitely help. But we're getting there in voice recognition. The NLP is a lot tougher and may be further out than a lot of people assume.
- johnchristopher 9y agoTo be honest it's only the detecting of "OK Google" that is broken. Manual activation of speech recognition do work as intended or at least as expected.

- ghaff 9y agoAre you sure there isn't a setting someplace? Also I believe in the case of an iPhone it needs to be plugged in.
- johnchristopher 9y agoMaybe. There are some settings related to google maps and driving mode but frankly... I stopped looking. If it's there and half hours here and there of going through menus didn't make it I consider it broken through bad UI.
