Google has been putting a lot of effort into making Gemini a complete Android Assistant substitute. Additionally, it is in the process of incorporating Gemini into all of its services, including Google Drive and Gmail. Google also said in August of this year that it intends to enhance your connection with smart home gadgets by utilizing Gemini AI models. As part of this, Nest speakers will soon have new Google Assistant voices that “feel more conversational.” Some Nest users indicate that they can now hear the new voice four months later.
On Reddit, a number of Nest owners complain that the assistant is speaking to them in a different voice when they give specific directions. Apparently, depending on the command, the device will alternate between the old and new Gemini-powered voice. For more complicated queries, it adopts the more conversational Gemini voice; for simpler questions, it continues to utilize the previous voice.
Under Google Assistant Settings > Assistant Voice and Sound, one user reports that the “Orange” voice has changed and now sounds different. Try switching to the Orange voice to see if it helps if you aren’t hearing the new Gemini-powered voice on your Nest speaker or display.
In Google Gemini on Android, none of the conversational, natural-sounding voices are called “Orange.” It appears that Google may not use the same voice naming technique on all of its devices.
It seems that Google has not yet fully implemented the new voices for Nest devices and is still testing them out. The new Gemini-powered voice on Nest speakers and screens should comprehend you better in addition to having a more organic conversation flow. Additionally, it will allow you to ask follow-up questions without giving background information.
Gemini ought to improve the intelligence of Nest’s displays and speakers
Gemini can readily comprehend natural language conversations and is far smarter than Google Assistant. Because you can have a normal conversation while learning more about the topic you’re interested in, it’s perfect for use with Nest speakers and displays.
Google released the fall update for Google Home last month, enabling AI-powered search and introducing Gemini AI to Nest cameras. Gemini also made it simpler to create Google Home routines; just state your goals in simple terms, and Gemini will take care of the rest.
