Google Assistant will now be able to identify who is talking to them. The company announced that it is adding Voice Match and default speaker selection features to all Google Assistant-compatible devices.

Google product manager, Praveen Chandran said that the additions are part of the company’s efforts “to support an open ecosystem and bring Google Assistant features to everyone globally.”

Voice Match helps the Google Assistant recognise the user’s voice for personalised results. The results may cover areas like calendar reminders or traffic to work, even if the user shares the device with other people in his house.

“You’ll be able to link up to six people’s voices with Voice Match to a single speaker or Smart Display, so the entire family can get personalized help from Google,” Chandran wrote in the blog post.

Users will also begin to see a new setting in the Google Home app that allows them to adjust the responsiveness of the Google Assistant hot word “Hey Google” on smart speakers and Smart Displays. Google says the feature will continue to roll out to more devices in the coming weeks.

Users can also pick their preferred speakers for playing music. “For example, you can say, “Hey Google, play some jazz,” to your Google Nest Mini in the kitchen and the music will automatically play from your preferred speaker,” according to the blog post.

Users can also set the default music speaker for any Google Assistant-enabled device. To do this;

— Go to the Setting menu of your device in the Google Home app.

— Scroll to Google Nest Mini and its Device settings.

— Tap Default music speaker to choose the living room speaker you want to use when you play music.
