No, I haven't. How do they work if you can't look at the screen? Siri tends to be bad about that. Like "how's the weather" gets a response of "Here's the forecast:" and shows it on the screen.
One of the things with Echo is that it doesn't have a screen, so everything has voice responses.
- sp332 11y agoIf Google understands the content it's presenting, like weather, it will read it out loud to you. If a wikipedia article is the first result, it will read the entire first paragraph out loud.
- notatoad 11y agogoogle now will try it's best to answer questions out loud if they were asked that way. Your weather example works, but in general it's inconsistent enough that i can't assume it will give me an audible answer, and I usually limit myself to speaking only questions or commands that i know to work.

And its a fairly amazing technical achievement, but its still got a long way to go -- if you ask when a business opens, it will show you the hours but not tell you the time it opens, even though Google has enough semantic understanding of the open/close times to tell you on the results page with the hours that it is "closing soon" or "closed now" if that is the case.
