Google is rolling out a new set up process for Voice Match in Google Assistant to improve its accuracy. The new setup process requires users to say full sentences for better voice recognition.
After being limited to the "OK Google" hotword prior to accepting and responding to a voice command, it appears that non-Pixel Android smartphones can now be reconfigured to use "Hey Google" instead.
Google's new device is expected to look like its OnHub wireless routers, and will reportedly offer similar voice interaction, search and smart home management capabilities to Amazon's Echo.
Due to a glitch that causes a device's microphone to be disabled, Microsoft has taken the time to update its Cortana Android app, removing the "Hey Cortana" feature for the US market.
Voice search survives Google's latest slimming of Chrome but the active search 'OK Google' feature has been removed from Windows, Mac and Linux after this week's release of Chrome 46.
