Story on Alexa understanding accents or not so much...
« on: July 23, 2018, 01:33:03 pm »
while reading this morning stumbled across a story linked to the washington post. the story is titled, "the accent gap." some good information, data. you don't need a subscription to read just one story. i'm not sure on forum rules or i would post the link directly. that said just go to their site and search for the article by title.

surprised to see how alexa compared to google home compared to accents from the south, west coast, etc. that's it just thought some would find it interesting. all have a good one!

I read about it a few days ago.  AI is still too new.  no way to program every accent, speech impediment, sound interference, etc at this time.

Oops, tiny bit rude - unless you have the same problem with Scottish accents as the lift  :D
