Alice Learned To Understand When A Child Speaks To Her - Partner News

Internet, September 18, 2020. Alice learned to recognize children's voices and communicate with children and adults in different ways. If a child speaks to Alice, she offers children's content and tries to answer the questions as easily as possible. The new feature is available in all smart columns with Alice.

Alice plays children's music for the child, and instead of the usual morning show - a version with songs and podcasts for children. For folks interested in news, it includes the Radio Disney Newsletter. The voice assistant even speaks and jokes differently with children than with adults. And the Yandex. Q service helps her to answer the child's questions - there is a special section where adults answer children's questions in understandable language.

During a conversation with a child, Alice turns on the "family" mode, in which undesirable content for children is not available. If parents want Alice to offer their child only content for children, they can set a "safe" mode. To do this, go to the Yandex application settings (section "Devices", "Account").

Children's content does not affect the recommendations that Alice makes to an adult. So, children's songs will not be included in the playlist of the day, even if the child has been listening to them with Alice all day. But if a person still wants to turn off the child voice recognition function, he can do it in the settings.

Alice knew how to deal with children before. If asked, she will tell a story, turn on a cartoon or entertain with a game. And at the beginning of this year, an online simulator "Easy to Tell" appeared in the voice assistant, which helps children to practice complex sounds.
