We\u2019ve all been in a situation where we\u2019ve tried to send a text with just the use of our voices. Sometimes, it results in some unintended and silly words or phrases. But more often than not, the text messages can be unclear or missing pertinent information that we wanted to send. <\/span><\/p>\n

On our smartphones, voice recognition rarely behaves as it should. That\u2019s why few of us use voice features with any sort of confidence, which is certainly frustrating. In a world where tech devices get more and more powerful every few months, it\u2019d be nice to be able to utilize the voice features that have been around for years. It begs the question \u2014 why hasn\u2019t it yet been improved?<\/p>\n

A Problem Across Devices<\/b><\/h2>\n

Our phones are able to stream video, play games, order a pizza by texting an emoji, and communicate with people all over the world \u2014 all at the touch of a button. So it\u2019s seemingly a mystery as to why haven\u2019t we seen any major improvements for voice features yet. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s an Apple, Samsung, Google, or HTC phone \u2014 voice features consistently fail to work correctly. When they do work, they require us to speak in a manner that\u2019s so loud and clear that we draw too much attention to ourselves. It\u2019s to the point where it\u2019s easier to just drop what we\u2019re doing and send a text the old-fashioned way, or make an actual phone call.<\/p>\n

Why Are Smartphones Behind?<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s puzzling that voice recognition technology remains so wonky on smartphones when Amazon Echo and Google Home are so responsive and clear. Both smart hubs have intelligent assistants that can understand your commands \u2014 even in a noisy room. And this technology is affordable, too. So why have smartphones not caught up to these devices when it comes to voice recognition technology?<\/p>\n

There are a lot of possible reasons that voice recognition fails to work properly on smartphones, which is a shame since voice-to-text is so useful. Smartphones, because of their speaker\u2019s quality and size, have a harder time distinguishing your voice from surrounding noise.<\/p>\n

When Will This Technology Be Updated?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Hopefully, a device manufacturer will soon step it up and deliver a device that can be truly hands-free. We live in such a fast-paced world that\u2019s constantly connected \u2014 it\u2019d be nice to be able to keep our hands free more often, and pay attention to the world around us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In our fast-paced world, it can be nice to keep our hands free yet still use our devices.
