BIXBY: How does a smart voice assistant from Samsung work? S Voice What is this program application s Voice.

Hello everyone!
If you are a user of Samsung devices, you are probably familiar with the S VOICE application. For those who do not know what it is, I will explain - this is a Samsung analogue of OK Google, Siri or Cortana. You can also talk to him a bit.

I (and not only one) I consider it not very convenient when this program (it would seem for incomprehensible reasons) suddenly launched with anything. In fact, such a reason is still there. This is a double click on the "Home" button. I myself very often called this miracle, until I decided that it was time to disable it. For those who do not know how to do it, I share a recipe.
For example, I use Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android Lollipop.
So, run the application, go to its settings. Here we immediately see the menu item "Open Home key". We remove the tick opposite it, come out from here.

All, now the program start can only be done through applications, and the "Home" button will be used for its direct intended purpose.

Galaxy smartphones owners can wonder S VOICE What is this program on my phone? They do not suspect how cool feathers. This is a built-in voice assistant. Analog Siri on iOS, voice search about "Kay Google on other android devices. What useful in the program S Voice and how it can be used.

To start the program, you need to press the "Home" button twice, and say a question or command. If you launched S Voice, the first time you need to agree with the terms of use by several presses of the button Next. After that you can give orders to the application. Depending on the used S VOICE commands, you can put an alarm clock, send SMS, tell about the weather, and much more. Extensive list of commands you will find a little lower.

It costs to note that you can start a voice assistant without pressing the buttons, and a special voice command you can write in the application settings. Then, when the screen is turned off, you say the key phrase and the assistant instantly waking up listened to you.

Fans of mobile devices often have to hear about the benefits of voice assistants, which then and the case are rapidly developing with the emergence of new technologies and access to the market for revolutionary smartphones. Probably, some people find these technologies useless and think that they could not be able to use. We assure you, it is before the first use BIXBY.

Decent competitor Siri and Google

One of the distinguishing features of the most recent, revolutionary device Galaxy S8. from the South Korean company Samsung An innovation was previously not met in a single solution from the giant. Meet it - Bixby, voice assistant, which will simplify the use of a smartphone and will help with solving problems that are associated with it.
Bixby was developed in Samsung not from scratch, but based on the technologies of the previous assistant. Probably you do not know about him, because they have few people used. But it was installed in almost all the "smart" devices from the company, even in hours. We can say that S Voice (This name was the first voice assistant on the devices of the South Korean company) became an excellent help for Bixby, which the world saw quite recently. However, this is not a continuation of the idea s Voice. With the old technology, only the help was taken, in fact, the novelty in everything surpasses it, and its competitors from Google.

Voice Assistant Features Bixby

In contrast to the analogs, the new project from Samsung will not be limited to habitat only on smart devices, such as Android and hours. No, the South Korean company plans to go much long. In their ambitions, they see Bixby implemented in almost all household appliances, which in theory should simplify their use. The platform for the new voice assistant will be the Tizen operating system embedded in some refrigerators from the giant company.

These innovations will allow you to transmit technologies to a completely different level. If you can not imagine how it will be used, then here is an example: you are the owner of a smartphone with Bixby, at the same time at home you have a new refrigerator from Samsung. Instead of writing lists of products that you need to purchase, you can simply ask your smartphone about what is in the refrigerator there is no, what you usually buy and what to buy now. Also, a photo of the content will be provided. But, while it is only the theory.

BIXBY in smartphones

To activate the voice assistant, a separate button is highlighted. This makes it use as convenient as possible and quickly available. On the other hand, the wave of misunderstanding statements resulted on Samsung. Why highlight a separate button on the device under BIXBY if you can use a simple and accessible voice command? Probably, this is done to popularize the new technology. It is difficult to disagree: if there is some button on your smartphone, then you will undoubtedly want to find out: what does it do? So more and more people will get acquainted with BIXBY. It is likely that the use of voice assistant will be the usual thing for owners of Samsung gadgets, the company will refuse a button to the pool of a convenient voice call. You should not pay back the opportunity to activate the Bixby to the usual gesture user.

Main functions

Its only function is to simplify the smartphone control as much as possible. It may come up to the fact that you do not have to use the screen - just tell me in the rumor that Bixby should do, and he will do it. Such possibilities, in the form of working with applications, menu items, photos and audio cannot offer not one competitor on the market. This makes a novelty from Samsung interesting and popular. On the other hand, while the Galaxy S8 smartphone, as well as the voice assistant itself is relatively new, it is impossible to judge until the end of the relevance of using Bixby functions in applications that are not standard. By the way, and the need for walks on the menu items is not such a useful thing, because faster to do everything with your fingers than to ask for help from Bixby out loud. On the other hand, an extremely useful thing for people with disabilities.

Bixby was endowed with a function that was previously introduced into applications from well-known trading platforms. Its essence is to scan a specific object, the product of its search on the Internet. Thus, the user of the smartphone with Bixby has the ability to view information about his interests you are interested in, and also find it on the expanses of Internet sites and shops, learn about the average price. But, unlike applications, the voice assistant perceives and searches not only the goods, but any object that turned out to be an interesting user of the smartphone. It may be a house, a monument, and anything.

Voice assistant perfectly understands natural speech. For example, take Siri - if you want to know something from it, then you need to contact it on a specific list of phrases. With Bixby, everything is much easier, at least, if you contact your smartphone in English. And naturally, where without an instant translator. The novelty is equipped with this feature, so you can forget about third-party applications. Just dictate text, and Bixby will translate it to the desired language.

BIXBY is an extremely promising creation from Samsung, which just needs time for several things:

• first, in the South Korean company must bring all the functions of Bixby to stable operation;
• secondly, bother with their fans who will undoubtedly appear soon.

When both of these events occur, we will see this technology and on other Samsung brand devices, and so far, the ability to test it only from users S8 and S8.

Today we will raise the beautiful and wonderful - voice assistant. This feature, which, in the opinion of many manufacturers, should change the world and withdraw the user experience to a completely new level. Since the S-VOICE review, Samsung branded assistant, we have not yet done, it's time to conduct an audit!

S-Voice - This is a voice assistant or assistant, as you are more convenient, which Samsung presented together with the third version of their flagship and the new version of Touchwiz Nature UX. I never cease to rejoice from the very presentation that the leading manufacturers began to pay more attention to non-todiers, but the software and the subject of today's review of this confirmation. In a nutshell, S-VOICE is aunt in your smartphone (only if your smartphone is Samsung Galaxy S 3), which at least will try to answer all your questions and fulfill the task it.

Surely, they work on technology, since my English remained Korovy, but the S-Voice now does not plug me, almost always understands the first time and this, of course, is good. Let's start from the very beginning - from the first launch. First you will be told that the smartphone can perform various tasks with voice. Next, another number of instructions, in general, we, go, we miss all this.

You at any time activate the assistant, saying a greeting. Standard - "Hi Galaxy", but you can easily change to "Hi Borodach", "Hi Allladin" or what you want.

If you compare the voice assistant call in SGS3 and in the iPhone, then it is more logical - you need to click on the HOME mechanical key twice. The long press causes menu menu. In the iPhone, on the contrary, it is not correct, since this menu it takes more often, so it would be logical to hang a single long tap on it.

In childhood, S-Voice It was not the smartest in the classroom, but now he grows and became much intelligent and more educated. Possessing at least some English, you can already ask S-Voice any questions on the general formation topic. Moreover, I asked completely any interesting questions, ranging from presidents, ending with the conversion of values. If S-VOICE is something to say, in addition to two or three words, the "MORE" button will appear.

But we are naturally most interested in the basic functionality of S-VOICE as a voice assistant. You can learn at any time at any point in the world, you can turn on and disable all sorts of phone functions, like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. By the way, I could not force Siri to turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. You can post something on Twitter, with voice, set a timer or alarm clock, appoint a meeting in the calendar. Very pleased with the opportunity to build a route and turn on step-by-step navigation, for this you just need to ask you to take you somewhere. You can also drive notes and much more.

At the moment, the Russian language is not supported, but it should appear. S-VOICE is not the only cool thing in SGS3 associated with voice. As in any other device on Android 4, there is a "stenograph" (somehow we called it).

In any place where you need to enter the text, you can press the microphone and simply pour the soul (read - rewrite the hut on the cat), it will all understand and write on paper.

Final Rewiziya

Probably the greatest drawback is the inability to work with the voice assistant offline. At least GPRS, but need. And I still wonder what happens with the update SGS3 to Android 4.1, because there is a pretty good assistant in the form of Google Search. They will be left to live next to each other, or the GS functionality will be united with S-VOICE?

I will not compare S-VOICE more with similar solutions in some other devices, as these functions are exclusive and you will not be able to put any of them to another device. S-Voice even outdated from the firmware and posted in open access, but the assistant simply does not want to work on other devices. But what you can install is similar solutions from the market, like Iris, Assistant, Jeannie and others. Using, at one time, I can say with confidence with confidence: if you have a SGS3 - an alternative to S-VOICE, it is better not to look for all third-party solutions in something easier. But I will put the fat point in this statement when S-VOICE learn Russian.

Although the interface Touchwiz And it is famous for its unique options and capabilities, but they are often absolutely useless. Since their value, each user determines independently, then we will be very insist on deactivation. Instead, just tell me how to disable 6 most of our opinion useless. The post is relevant for, and other smartphones in this series.

With each touch to the screen, your smartphone makes the sounds of dripping water. Of course, someone may like it, but there is no point in a similar option, and the battery is gradually discharged. To turn off this effect, you need to go to the settings, open the audio settings window and disable the sound effect for touching the screen (Settings\u003e Sound\u003e Touch Sounds).

When notifications appear your smartphone from Samsung Begins whistling. The probability is that these sounds are familiar to you even if you have never used the company's products. Fortunately, in the settings, the annoying whistle can be changed to a more pleasant sound. Navigate to the sounds and open the settings\u003e Sound\u003e Notifications.

Turn off the launch S.Voice Using the Home button. To do this, run the application, press the Menu button, open the application settings and remove the checkbox, which is located opposite the activation item S.Voice Using the Home button. Now this button will respond instantly, completely removing the waiting time required for the second touch and activation. S.Voice.

The likelihood you do not use Ridder MY.Magazine.. If this is true, it is better to turn it off so that it does not interfere. To do this, you must open the Humekrina settings and remove the checkbox in front of the option. MY.Magazine..

Of course, you can accept sound accompaniment while unlocking Lockskrin, but it can also be turned off. To do this, go to the settings, open the Sound Settings window and select the Lock Screen (Sound\u003e SCREEN LOCK SOUND) option.

Smartphones OT. Samsung By default display photos from various sources. This is Facebook, and SD card, and Dropbox. To bring order to the gallery, use the application settings and disconnect the sources, the photos of which you do not need.
