In the event you say… “Hey, laptop, play me some music” after which it begins taking part in you some music, there’s quite a lot of issues that should have occurred for that to return true.

The very first thing is that the pc has to firstly get up and begin listening to you when it hears “Hey, computer” (or no matter it’s that you’ve determined goes to be the wake phrase)… And that is commonly a really small, low-powered speech recognition system which is sitting on a machine or in your cellphone, that’s listening very particularly for explicit phrases.
