    regarding listening to music on the echo it will play any song if you have amazon music or spotify premium. I feel that should've been explained better.

    I think saying "alexa" to ask a question works better than say "ok google" saying Alexa just rolls of the tongue better

    • @KR-nm6wm
      @KR-nm6wm 8 років тому +47

      I like Android but hate how "Ok Google" does not roll off the tongue. Good observation.

    • @ryancole7376
      @ryancole7376 8 років тому +10

      Argon you can use hey Google on the Google home, which works better but I still prefer Alexa as well.

    • @wijobijazz07
      @wijobijazz07 7 років тому +26

      "ok google" can be changed to whatever you want the unit to respond to.

    • @pedram4sk8
      @pedram4sk8 7 років тому +4

      is it only me that think Google is better if you don't have smart home devices, the only down grade is its looks... and also when ut comes to playing music it wont play a sample it will plY it off youtube if is not found!

    • @wijobijazz07
      @wijobijazz07 7 років тому +2

      @yourecompletelytrue1401 7 років тому +10

      Absolutely and it's just the most obvious thing to understand that Google Home will improve exponentially with time considering how engaged google and its product are with our lives, particularly if you own an Android device.
      In just a couple of years, Google Home will kick Alexa out of competition and will be no less than a human assistant.

    Just FYI since the info in this video is a bit outdated. Google Home is rolling out native support for Weemo, Belkin, Lifx, Honeywell, Wink, TP-Link, and First Alert. They already supported Nest, Samsung/Smartthings, Chromecast, Philips Hue and IFTTT. They still have some more catching up to do but the Amazon Echo has been out for 2 yrs. I'm confident more 3rd party hardware will start to support as time goes on.

    Not to troubleshoot you guys, but in doing some research I discovered that you would have greater success if you had set up your accounts for the devices. An account with a Google calendar, an Amazon music account, etc would have given you better results. Great video, thanks!

    "Alexa" is more convenient to say than "Okay Google" but Google needs to improve the Google home. I think Alexa has the upper hand right now.

      i strongly disagree, although you are right, would be very annoying when you are trying to talk about all those strippers ha.

    • @ONI1013.
      @ONI1013. 8 років тому

      In my experience, I found that "hey Google" was harder to trigger than "ok Google" even though I think it feels more natural to say "hey Google." There were times when I literally had to scream Hey Google when it was somewhat loud in my house, but could say ok Google without screaming and it would trigger. Overall though, Echo's utilization of its seven far field microphones is better at detecting the trigger words.

    What’s funny is my moms birthday was just yesterday and watching this video my Sonos speaker with Alexa heard them ask the echo to sing happy birthday and she started singing it right when my mom walked in the room and she was so surprised and happy and thought I planned the whole thing and gave me a big hug and kissed me on my head. Haha I’m not gonna tell her what really happened, she enjoyed it so much.

    • @tywilliams9867
      @tywilliams9867 8 років тому +6

      I also think google home would benefit more with a name. Like Viv or Cortina for example. Part of the appeal of Alexia is that is called Alexia. It feels more like an assistant as opposed to a device.

      Good luck with your home automation, because HANDS DOWN the Echo is still miles and miles better. And the new Echos are much better than in this video. Echo also better with a security system, And integrated with your TV (Amazon Fire). But hey, every time you ask Google Home about anything I am SURE the Google is Hands Down superior at sending you emails/spamming your web browser trying to sell you the product! But at least they are also recording everything you say in your house. ENJOY!

    Google's voice is just so much better. That alone would make it more worth it to me. But the features of google's offering already makes it better even outside the voice.
    Although, I must admit, I don't see the point still, as getting a Pixel will give you everything that google home gives you aside from the large speaker. You just say "ok google" and get the same results.

    Both of these products are just microphones, speakers, wifi and Bluetooth. They just send the questions to the company's cloud servers for the AI to answer. Ultimately, it's which company has the largest database to train their AI with and which company has the largest cloud server base. Not surprisingly, Google and Amazon are the world leaders in cloud servers and with databases, Google's database is mostly from their search engine while Amazon's is from it's customers shopping and viewing habits. Microsoft is also a strong contender with their Azura cloud cluster which is already backing Xbox video games. Also, there are other products that do the same thing such as Xbox and many smart TV's so a standardization issue and partnering will play a part in this market. How everyone is treating these products remind me of the time when a friend of mine asked his young child if he could take the computer away to work on, the child only saw the monitor, keyboard and mouse as being the computer so was surprised when everything stopped as soon as the PC was unplugged.
