Amazon’s Alexa can now recognise different voices and give responses
Your Echo just got smart enough to tell you apart from the people you live with The battle of the smart speakers has become a constant back and forth between Amazon and Google. Back in April, Google Home gained the ability to recognize individual voices, that allows the device to personalize its response for everybody in your house or apartment. This way, you’ll get your calendar briefing or curated music playlists when asking Assistant for them, and Google won’t mix up contacts when you call someone with the home speaker. Today, Amazon declared that Alexa will currently do the same thing.
You can set up voice recognition using the Echo, Echo Dot, or Echo Show. Users are asked to read aloud 10 phrases, and Alexa will then use that information to create a voice profile. after that’s done, voice profiles work across other Echo devices and “most” third-party party Alexa-enabled devices.
“Once you set up the feature, Alexa will learn your voice (versus your pouse/partner/roommate’s voice) and be ready to deliver a more personalized experience,” a company spokesperson told. “Today the feature is available for calling/messaging, flash briefing, shopping, and therefore the Amazon Music Unlimited Family plan, and it’ll be rolling out to additional Alexa features within the future.” Amazon says voice recognition will get “smarter over time” the more it’s used. the company also notes that touch-to-talk devices (i.e. fire TV remote and therefore the Amazon Tap) don’t support voice profiles.
