My wife at times like when she tries to enter data, a site or a question on her android smartphone, her fingers don’t match her words.

Last year sometime Google came up with voice search and she started using it.

She is from the Midwest and has a beautiful talking voice with zero accent. So, she and Google voice search got along great. She has expanded that into voice typing. They are a great combo.

I have a southern/sw/western accent with a tang, and google voice and I didn’t do that well. It has gotten better. Also, I type at about 50 wpm, so keyboard entry isn’t that great of a problem. Google and Amazon are doing better understanding me.

She had no problems with our Comcast remote using voice commands. I did for a while. About a month ago Comcast voice started to understand me. That will be a mute point, as we have a goal of cutting the cable with Comcast this month. We will be going to Roku/Sling/Amazon Prime.

The voice system on the 16 Tacoma understands my southern accent fairly well.
