The Google Maps app for Android has, for years now, had the same old voice input that’s slow and not as accurate as Google’s latest offerings. Finally that’s changing, as Google Maps is rolling out a new voice input experience powered by Google Assistant.

All of my Google home (nest) speakers have gotten worse for every moth that passes. They understand less and less for every time and often even just ignore me (even though LED register input). I'm removing them all because from what I've experienced they're programmed to break just about a year past the warranty. I'm not replacing all of my nests every 2-3 years. I'll just press that light switch myself instead like in the old days
This is such a cool typo. I love the mental image.
The ability of my Google Home gadgets to correctly understand speech drops sharply whenever there's a promo on them - I imagine the influx of new speech patterns from new users tanks the recognition/parsing systems at Google.
