Yeah, I'm out.
Could not tell you the amount of times that Siri has misunderstood me due to my accent, or Google Maps voice guidance has tried to summon eldricht horrors by attempting to pronounce "Länsiväylä". Voice is an awful interface and should not be a main/easiest way of interacting with any device.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThis will probably be one of those devices that will only work for Americans in America speaking American English in a particular accent. Maybe some Canadians too, if the voice reconigition is particularly good. Many English speakers like the British or, God forbid, the Scottish will be treated as if they speak an entirely different language. I find Google's natural language AI extremely lacking in Dutch but I'm not switching languages to get my phone to do what I want it to do. I need to say broken sentences to get reminders to work right (the equivalent of "OK Google, remind me at 9 turn on washing machine" because any connecting words between the command and the input will be parsed as part of the input). At least Google Assistant seems to work better than Siri, but I'm not sure if that's because Google's AI is better or if Apple's is just worse. If Google can't get it right, their tiny competitor will never be able to get this working outside their tiny target area.
