You can't really compare Siri & even Alexa to Google. That things is at a whole different level. Anyway, we really need a fully offline and private voice assis

  Oh is Google so much better? I consider them the worst in privacy so I only tried them once years ago. At that time their assistant was pretty immature. The others I found better but they have not advanced since then. I didn't know that Google has. I'll give it a try then. Since then I've had echo dots and now a HomePod mini because I don't trust Amazon so much either. But I agree we need that. The big reason for cloud processing is that it has to recognize millions of people with differing accents. For home hosted use that's not needed. I wouldn't mind training it for a while with my voice. Even in the 90s dragon dictate worked pretty great after reading it a short story.

    I was talking about technology. There are tons of side by side comparisions on YouTube showing the distance between Google and others. Privacy is a completely different subject and whatever we feel about these companies it is very hard to quantify.

      Ok I don't really do YouTube either, save the embedded clip here and there :) So I wasn't aware of that. Videos as a content format don't really appeal to me anyway. I did check one and I don't find it a huge difference. In particular I noticed that Google is much better at keeping state for follow-up questions. Something that bothers me with Siri. But the other answers were pretty much the same. I won't change it for that :)
