Google Assistant will soon know what you say even better
The Google Assistant sometimes has a miscommunication. Sometimes that’s funny, but it can also be annoying. Hopefully that will change soon, because an update to the Google app says that “personalized speech recognition” is coming for the Assistant.

9to5Google spotted this in the .apk, the early version of the app. It goes like this. The app saves audio to your phone and applies speech recognition models to it. In this way, the Assistant understands better what you mean, because it learns to deal better with how you speak. He also learns faster what you ask more often.
You will be able to turn this new tool on and off shortly. If you choose the latter, it will say “If you turn this off, your Assistant will be less accurate at recognizing names and other words you say often. All audio used to improve speech recognition for you will be erased from this device.”

Call the right person
It’s kind of an extension of the model that the Assistant uses for ‘Hey Google’, but more extensive. However, this was mainly based on accents and now it is more about a broader spectrum of speech. Names in particular are often difficult to understand or recognize. Still silly when the Google Assistant asks to call ‘Alex’, and your ‘Ex’ is called. However, it is not only intended for that purpose, but also to make the conversation a bit more natural in general. Everyone benefits from that.
At the moment a conversation with the Google Assistant is still a bit choppy and robotic, while it would be nice if this were much more natural. It is therefore probably also used more, because hopefully in the future you don’t have to think so hard about how to ask something, because the voice assistant understands what you mean much earlier.
The new feature isn’t live yet, and it may still never go live at all. It is hoped, however, especially for people who speak a language other than English.
