I have multiple Google Home speaker devices at home. My experience that about 1/3 of the time, even in silence, it does not understand simple commands like "Stop" or "Pause". Sometimes I say "Stop" and it interprets this as "Stocks" and starts reading out stock prices. The fact that it only works 2/3 of the time makes it a frustrating UX, I hate trying to "use" it. (First world problems..)
- phatskat 3y agoYep, I’ve got a few speakers and it feels like a crapshoot. I pretty much only say “lights on/off”, “play rain sounds”, and “stop”. But the goog hears _something_ that translates to “playing lights53 on Spotify”, or “here’s what’s playing near you”. Usually in quiet environments too when it mishears me - oddly good at parsing stuff in noisy environments or low volume, if I’m talking (masculine voice) but my roommate (more femme) usually doesn’t get heard at all.
