Google Assistant to get sensitivity setting

Posted on Wednesday, April 22 2020 @ 18:46 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

XDA Developers editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman discovered that Google will soon introduce sensitivity options for its Google Assistant. Basically, the company will allow you to change the sensitivity so you get fewer false positives with the "Hey Google" or "OK Google" commands on your smart speakers.

Today, the company announced a number of new privacy-centric features for Google Assistant. The one that should make a lot of people happy is new sensitivity options for the “OK/Hey Google” command. We’ve all had those times where Google butts into a conversation without being asked anything. Google says the sensitivity controls will be coming “soon.”

Finally, the Google Home app is about to add "Hey Google" sensitivity options for each Google Assistant device.https://t.co/a7R2pxLCLI pic.twitter.com/LJ6GpAj7CY
