Google opens up the possibility to use Voice Match on Sonos and Bose devices. An option that is appreciated because there really was no type of limitation at the hardware level not to do it. So if you want to improve the experience in one of these speakers and also gain some extra security options, you must activate it.
Voice Match comes to Sonos and Bose
Until now, only Google speakers were compatible with Voice Match . That is, in the same way that happens with Pixel phones, only the Google Home and Google Nest could make use of this feature that the company introduced in order to improve the user experience.
Now all that has changed and any owner of a Sonos or Bose speaker with Google Assistant will also be able to activate Voice Match . But what exactly is this and how does it improve the user experience.
Voice Match is the ability of the Google Assistant to uniquely identify the user’s voice . This, as you can guess, improves security since access to certain data will only be given by the person who recognizes it. It is like the fingerprint but with the voice. Of course, it is not a perfect system either and if someone has a similar tone it is likely that for now there will still be some kind of confusion.
Still, it’s worth activating. Because with Voice Match you enjoy a much more personal experience . As indicated on the support website, among the different actions and options that allow you to highlight the enjoyment of a personalized musical experience with recommendations that are based on your requests and history, not what other users have asked you to reproduce.
In addition to this, you can control access to the private library and a series of recommendations and access to data that are yours again and not those of other users or shared accounts on the speaker itself. So for this and many other things that will come in the future, such as using this feature as a method of security in purchases, activating Voice Match on your smart speaker with Google Assistant is something worthwhile.
How to activate Voice Match
The Voice Match activation process is very simple . Basically it consists of opening the Google Home application and at the top right, touch your account. Now go to Wizard Settings> Settings> Wizard> Voice Match> Add a device select the one you want to configure. Once you follow the steps that appear in the application, you will have everything ready to take advantage of this function in speakers that go beyond those of Google Home and Google Nest.
Remember that together with this you can also vary the listening sensitivity, so that the experience is even better. A process as simple as:
- Open the Google Home app
- Select your speaker and go to Sensitivity settings
- Set the level you want
Done, now it’s just a matter of taking advantage of this voice recognition.
