Alias
In the tab " Personal data " you will find the setting " Alias ". This allows you to determine how the Google Assistant should address you. You can type in your desired name and listen to the pronunciation. If you have a complicated name that the assistant does not pronounce correctly, you can use " Record your name to speak " aloud and teach it to the assistant..
languages
The " Languages " setting is in the " Assistant " tab . There you can choose up to two different languages in which you want to talk to the assistant.
Continuous entertainment
With the setting " Continuous entertainment " in the " Assistant " tab , you can specify whether the microphone should be switched on again after a response. This guarantees continuous entertainment. If this setting is deactivated, you have to tap the microphone symbol on your screen if you have further questions in order to be able to speak again.
Smart home control
The " Smart Home Control " setting in the " Assistant " tab is particularly useful if you use multiple Google devices in your household. You can add new devices and assign them to a room. For example, you can use the Google Assistant to control your home by saying, for example, " turn off the TV in the bedroom "..
Processes
With the setting " Processes ", which is also located in the " Assistant " tab , you can regulate your everyday life. This is where you specify what information the Google Assistant should show you when a certain command is given. For example, the weather report and all appointments for the current day can be displayed when you say " Good morning ".
Ok google
If you tap on " Smartphone " under " Assistant devices " in the " Assistant " tab , you can set up the " Ok Google " voice control . Turn on " Google Assistant " and " Access with Voice Match, " then say " Ok Google " several times to allow the Assistant to save your voice. After setup, just say " Ok Google " and the assistant is ready to answer questions. This works even when your smartphone is locked.
