Terms to know
Voice assistants let you speak to an AI and hear it answer, for tasks such as setting reminders, drafting messages, answering questions or helping a browser session hands-free. Drivers, busy professionals and people with accessibility needs use them. Examples include Eleo AI Assistant Chrome Extension and Wilfie AI Chrome Extension. Check what happens to your recordings, since microphones raise stronger privacy concerns than typed chat.
That depends on the tool. Some listen only after a button press or wake word, while others stream audio continuously to a server. Read the privacy settings, learn how to delete stored recordings, and mute the microphone when it is not needed.
A voice assistant listens, understands and responds, so it covers the whole conversation. Text-to-speech only reads text aloud. Assistants usually include speech-to-text and text-to-speech as parts, plus a language model that decides what to say.
Support varies a lot. Common languages and accents work well, while regional speech, background noise and technical vocabulary cause mistakes. Check the supported languages list, and test the tool with your own voice before depending on it.
