Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Bixby Voice first look”.
Hey it’s Chris Walsh of The Verge we’re checking out big speed voice on the Galaxy s8. Now this is Samsung’s version of Siri or Google assistant and there’s a button on the side of the phone that actually activates it we’re going to try it out. It’S in beta today, so it’s going to be rocky gon na, have some problems but we’re going to throw some common questions at it and see how it responds. So there are two ways to trigger bixby voice. You can say hi big speech or you can just hold the side button here and hold it down. While you talk so hi big speech, show me the weather in San Francisco, it’s 69 with lots of sunshine today, so it’s got that right, not bad kind of basic stuff. Let’S try something else fairly easy choose the president of the US. It’S 59, with lots of sunshine today. Well, couldn’t have gotten that much wrong. Hi big Street turn down my brightness. Alright brightness has decreased, so you can ask you to perform system tasks. Brightness turn off flu tooth turn on Wi-Fi things like that. So it’s got that down pretty well, so one thing Vicks be voice, can do that Siri can’t is actually interact with apps and do things that you would normally take several steps to do so.
I can say hi pics, be open, ooh BRR and show me my account settings. So it opens the app and actually goes several screens and to show you what you want pretty cool, and so you can of course open apps. So I can say: hi big, speak, open, Spotify, alright, ears yeah, so so far it will open Spotify that will actually apply any music for the. Unfortunately, you can use google music if you want to play music directly, but Spotify can’t just yet hi big speak text.
Mom and ask: how are you here is what I found on the web me to improve on that one: let’s try again from the home screen: hi Bixby, hi Bixby, so voice is less than perfect. Let’S hold this side button text Dan and ask what’s up search, SF message: not working so great, send a text to dad and ask: how are you that one didn’t work at all, so the big dilemma that Samsung faces here is trying to offer things that Siri And Google system – don’t there are some of those there’s promise here, but how long will it be before Google and Apple offer the same functionality and better Bixby voice has some unique features, but it also struggles with some basic questions on day. One we’ll see how it pans out over the next few months. I see a lot of things, aren’t working at all or they’re coming up wrong.
Now this is in beta it’s day. One Samsung is still working through this stuff, but Google has this stuff down already, like. I can say, text mom and ask: how are you got it? Do you want to send this text or change it sand sand, okay, message sent .
