The problem with voice recognition: It's shite being Scottish
Hello friends.
Today we're going to try and take a look at some smart speakers.
I'm from Scotland so I've never had much luck with voice recognition.
Kinect did not respond to my voice when I first used it upon release.
So I'm trying to figure out if these devices will understand a single word I say.
So let`s give it a Bash.
[MUSIC]
Hello Siri, Siri?
Hello Siri.
Siri, [INAUDIBLE].
I`m not even doing my accent anymore.
[SOUND]
You try it.
All right [INAUDIBLE] gonna tell us what the weather;s like?
[MUSIC]
Hello Ciary.
[FOREIGN]
[FOREIGN]
It's currently cloudy and 24 degree in Sydney
Good day [FOREIGN].
Thanks Siri.
And next up, Alexa.
Want to tell us what the weather is like?
Especially say, when's it gonna stop?
I don't know that.
I don't know how I can be any clearer than that.
I'm not a god, just me.
At least you listen to me, the other one doesn't even listen at what I'm saying.
Doesn't even come on.
Sorry, I'm not sure.
[MUSIC]
Lucky last.
Hey Google, what's the weather like?
Right now, in [UNKNOWN] Hills it's 23 and mostly cloudy.
Hey Siri,
Tell us a joke.
Now playing [UNKNOWN] from Dances of the Dolls by [UNKNOWN].
[MUSIC]
I love this song.
[SOUND] So that was pretty hit and miss, but it could have been worse, you know what I mean?
So definitely better than it was when I first tried Siri and I made the iPhone explode, but
I'm Mark Serrels from CNET, and I apologize for overwhelming Scottish.
