Tech giant Apple is working on a project to change its ‘Hey Siri’ voice assistant trigger phrase to just ‘Siri’, to make the process more simpler.
It means that to activate the smart assistant, the user would just need to say “Siri” followed by a command.
To make the feature work effectively, the company will need to put in “significant AI training and underlying engineering work,” as the smart assistant would need to recognise the single wake word in a variety of accents and dialects, the report said.
The two-word trigger phrase “Hey Siri” makes the voice assistance more likely to recognise it.
