You will soon be able to teach Google Assistant to recognise complicated names


Google would like mobile users to be able to converse in a more natural way with its virtual assistant. — AFP Relaxnews

In order for users to be better understood by its intelligent assistant, Google will soon deploy a new feature allowing it to “learn” to recognise certain people or certain unique or complicated names. The goal is for it to perfectly understand and pronounce these names in the future. Complex terms or names of contacts are also concerned.

Perhaps you speak with an accent. And of course some names are more complicated than others. All of which adds up to the fact that communication between humans is not always easy.
