#SIRI VOICE ASSISTANT TV#
Bring Siri into your home, put the power of an Apple TV 4K or HomePod (maxi or mini) behind it as a HomeKit hub, and the snappiness with which the AI does what you command will floor you.Ī simple, “Hey Siri, Good Night” turns off all the smart lights in my home, locks the front and back doors, closes the garage door, pauses any music playing, lowers the shades, and sets the thermostat to my sleep temperature in around 6 seconds, give or take.Ī quick “Hey Siri, lights on” directed at the kitchen HomePod Mini turns just those lights on in under a second. Siri, you say? That same Siri whose lagginess is legendary in its native iPhone home? Yes, that’s the one. But mainly, it’s because as a smart home controller, Siri is seriously fast. This is slightly to do with the fact it rarely spews useless information at me when it didn’t understand what I was asking (*cough* Google) and definitely because it never asks if I want to buy something (you know who you are). You know, that voice that surely a voice will have jumped through your phone without prior notice or, if you usually make use of it, a very useful help that always accompanies you on your mobile phone.I use a fairly simple metric to determine which artificially intelligent voice assistant is the best for controlling my smart home: Which one do I swear at the least? Apple’s Siri, which turns 10 today, wins hands down. Last but not least, we have the well-known Google Assistant.
On the other hand, if you wonder who is the voice of this intelligent assistant in Spanish, as it happens in the rest, we do not have any information about it. In addition to Cortana, Jen has also voiced other characters such as Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Birdo and Toadette, all characters from the Mario universe. As you can imagine, both the Halo character and said assistant share a voice. For this reason, since the world of video games is much more open in terms of naming its interpreters, we can know that the person in charge of giving voice (in English) to Cortana is the dubbing actress Jen Taylor. The most curious thing about this intelligent assistant is that it is named after a synthetic intelligence character from Halo. Although at the beginning of this method, Alexa’s voice sounded quite mechanical, little by little it is believed that they have been improving the process to make it more natural. It is said that the voice of this assistant is generated from the rules of Text to Speech or TTS (text to speech), supported by artificial intelligence. However, many other media comment that, really, the “natural” voice of Alexa has never existed. Although Nina has made no statements about it, there is talk that a confidentiality contract does not allow her to reveal that identity.
As The Verge commented in one of their articles, there is a hypothesis that they claim to be revealed in a book called Amazon Unbound, where they seem to clarify that the person in charge of giving voice to this intelligent assistant is the announcer Nina Rolle. Now, who is hiding behind the voice of Alexa? Well, it seems to be a true state secret for Amazon. However, it was not until 2018 that he made his triumphal entry into Spanish-speaking countries such as Spain.
This intelligent assistant is somewhat younger than the previous one, since he was born in 2014.
