sidcow Posted April 9 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9 Alexa. Such a typical bloody woman. It's never HER fault is it? It always looks like a problem with the router. YOU'RE NOT PERFECT LOVE! Sometimes it's YOU that needs the re-set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU'RE NOT PERFECT LOVE! Sometimes it's YOU that needs the re-set. Happy to add to the Alexa submission. The amount of people (ancedotally, friends and family) who are completely dependant on Alexa is **** weird. I understand the usefulness - it can save seconds per command - but I find it so odd. "Downstairs lights off", "Alexa, timer 10 minutes", "Alexa volume 6" etc. Very simple things to achieve without Alexa, but now funnelled through it. But one slight mishear, and something else happens instead... which then requires a reversal of the misheard command and another request. Time now not saved at all.

tonyh29 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 ours responds to Echo rather than Alexa (i read the manual and changed it ) , if we refer to my sons pet gecko , then the device will chirp in with "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that" but on the whole it behaves itself But i use it to play music and that's about it , I'm not sure I'd ever use it for anything else ??

We use ours either for playing music or announcing that dinner is ready. Thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 9 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9 (edited) Once you use the voice recognition/speech feedback on the chat gpt app then it makes Alexa and Siri look crap in comparison. And I mean in terms of recognising your voice and the way it speaks back Edited April 9 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 9 Moderator Share Posted April 9 Voice recognition talk triggered me. The current versions of Google's (UK) voice to text that they released in January - utter bobbins. If anyone is setting up to use this, revert to the legacy edition in your google account settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and again she gets confused. As I mentioned above though, for me specifically she’ll say “good afternoon” before doing the announcement and then the wife will look at me like I’m having an affair with her.

chrisp65 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I have a version in my car. I now have voice recognition, gesture control, steering wheel buttons all to do something that I could also just reach across and press a button for. It was a novelty for a week to announce ‘play Baxter Dury’ but I’ve sort of reverted back to just pressing the button now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
