Netease Technology News August 17 news, according to Engadget reported that Google smart speaker Google Home has undergone a major upgrade today, now can make voice calls, and it does not need to bind the phone. This feature was first announced at the Google I/O conference in May and is now ready to be launched to users in the United States and Canada. This feature helps Google Home compete with Amazon’s Echo family, which launched a dial-back feature in May.
We haven't tried new features yet, but it sounds simple enough to turn Google Home into a speaker phone. But before the upgrade, there are things you need to know. First of all, Google Home voice calls support multiple users, so any member of your home with voice recognition can call directly from her personal contact list. Basically, this means that if you and your roommate both ask Google Home to call your mom, they will use your contacts to find the exact target.
When it comes to contacts, you need a Google account and a well-maintained contact list so that Google Home's voice calling feature will be useful. If you are an Android user, this may not be a problem. But if you are using an iOS system and are a long-term Gmail user, your contact list may be too long and lack organization. Fortunately, Google has managed online contacts in recent years to make it easier to use. Now your Google Account web contact interface is simple and clean. If you store a huge master list elsewhere, you should be able to export it and import it into your Google account.
As Google said, when this feature was first released, Google Home didn't actually use the phone to make calls. Obviously, most people with Google Home will also have some kind of smart phone, but if your phone is broken or not found, you can call through smart speakers. Unfortunately, when you make calls using Google Home, people may not see the phone numbers they are familiar with. Instead, they will see "Unknown Call" or "No Caller ID." Given that robot calls are causing more and more problems now, this display may not be very popular.
The good news is that by the end of this year, Google will associate your personal phone number with Google Home, so this will only be a temporary issue. That is, if you use Google Voice or Project Fi, you can now connect these numbers instead of waiting until the end of the year.
In addition to these details, the call should be very simple, you just say "Oh, Google, call..." and put in contact. You can also ask Google Home to use natural language to make local calls, such as "call the nearest coffee shop." All domestic calls are free, but unless you have a Project Fi or Google Voice account, you can't make international calls or dial "privilege rate" numbers. In this case, you will be charged the same fee as these service rates.
If you want to call Google Home, ask your speaker today, but there is no guarantee that it will work. Due to the large number of Google products, this feature will be gradually introduced next week. If you don't want to wait, you can join the Google Home Preview Program. You can try out new features in advance, although there may be loopholes. But just as Google officially announced the introduction of voice calling, things should go on without hindrance. If you think you are not brave enough, you may need a little patience. (small)
