Bixby Voice is better than we thought, even in English

Bixby Voice is now available in Spain. It is not very relevant for users because the truth is that the smart assistant is only available in English. However, despite this, it is better than we thought, even in English. After having used Siri and Bixby Voice, the truth is that the latter has surprised me, because it understands me better than Siri, speaking to it in English.

Bixby Voice is better than we thought

Bixby Voice is the intelligent voice assistant that comes integrated into the Samsung Galaxy S8. In fact, the smartphone has a single button to launch Bixby. By holding down the Bixby button, Bixby Voice starts, we speak to it, and the mobile responds. Similar to Siri, but actually better. Even if it's only available in English. In fact, with Siri I only managed to make the iPhone not understand me on many occasions. With Bixby Voice, I get him to understand me by speaking to him in English, despite not having the best pronunciation in the world.

Bixby Voice will get better over time

To make Bixby Voice even better, you will have to spend time, thanks to Machine Learning. Bixby Voice will keep getting "smarter." Although you will not actually be smarter, you will simply know better how to respond. We already talked about Machine Learning on smartphones. However, the fact that it is currently improving Siri means that Bixby Voice has a future.

When will Bixby Voice arrive in Spanish?

Now, for Bixby Voice to have a real future, it has to be available in Spanish. While it is true that we can learn to say some phrases to Bixby Voice in English, the logical thing is that it is available in Spanish, since that way we can even speak to it with natural language, and it would be able to understand each other.

In any case, it seems that Bixby Voice may not be available in Spanish at least until 2018. It may be presented with the Samsung Galaxy S9, but if so, the logical thing is that it will also become available in Spanish in the Samsung Galaxy S8.
