Users will soon be able to teach Google Assistant how to read the name correctly

According to the latest reports, Google Assistant is better at correcting its name pronunciation and improving its situational awareness when setting and changing timers with voice. Google pointed out in the blog post announcing these changes that these changes will be rolled out in the next few days. It is reported that if the Assistant pronounces your name incorrectly, there is now an easier way to correct it: as long as it says its name out loud, it will try to learn the pronunciation.

If you want to try it, you can go to Google Assistant Settings, then Basic Info, and then Nickname. It is worth noting that users cannot completely separate their text name from the pronunciation-for example, telling it to call me “Jennifer”, but the nickname given is Mitchell, and it may be called “Mithl” as a result.

In addition, Google also uses a language understanding technology called “BERT”, which adds more context awareness to the timer. In addition, it can solve a problem that some users often encounter: when you create an alarm clock and then tell the Assistant to add an hour, it is likely to create an alarm clock for an hour in the future.

With the new language processing, it should understand that the user actually wants the alarm to be set one hour later than the original time. And it should also be able to handle errors better, such as “Set the timer to 5 minutes, no, wait, it will take 9 minutes.”

Google said that this natural conversation should soon appear in more areas of Assistant. It seems that most of the work is done around timers, but who knows what will happen next? Although Google Assistant has done a good job in web search, BERT technology can make it more powerful.
