I was quite interested after reading stories about how Google’s Assistant will recognize a song just by humming it. You know that I had to try it.
To experiment, I went into my office area and turned off any noises and started the process.
“Hey Google”
“what’s this song?”
and I started humming. The song for this acid test was “More Hearts Than Mine” by Ingrid Andress. Why? Well, I love this song and play it around in my head and hum it quite a bit. I think I know it completely. Sadly, Google Assistant didn’t agree.
Sigh.
I guess I’m greater in my mind. Here’s the original.
It didn’t even get the gender correct. Jake Owen did cover it here.
So, getting past that, at least Google tried.
I did play Ms. Andress’ original into my phone and it got it correctly.
I’ll take the blame.
But, I did get this one to work perfectly! Well, at least 69%.
I hope it works better with this: Google launches Sound Notifications that let your phone notify you of critical sounds around you
