NEW - Google Assistant likes US, British Racing Green VOICE option
NEW - Google Assistant likes us Jag owners, we now have a "British Racing Green" VOICE option. It gives your Google Assistant an "English UK" voice model for the US. PS, also added the Australian Voice model for the US
I have already been using the English UK option for Google Maps Navigation, so this was a pleasant surprise when Google uploaded the new Google Assistant voice options this morning.
BTW, it doesn't affect the normal Language settings etc, it only changes the Google Assistant voice
FYI, if you are unfamiliar with changing the Google Assistant Voice.
Via "Settings":
Settings>Google (services and preferences)>Search,Assistant & Voice>Settings>Assistant>Assistant voice>Available Voices, then scroll the colored circles all the way to the left to see the 2 new options.
From Home Page:
on newer Android Phones, Long press the "Home" button for a few seconds and the Google Assistant will pop up on the bottom> tap the "Explore" button (upper right of pop-up) looks like a compass),> then 3-dot menu at upper right, Settings>Assistant>Assistant voice>Available Voices, then scroll the colored circles all the way to the left to see the 2 new options.
Maybe Siri can haul her *** across the pond and take some voice lessons too.
Might turn her back on again if she did, as I find her currently very annoying.
Well if she's all we want to hear when Navigating, then I'm changing mine. Thanks Dave. I hope all is well with you.
Hi Sean,
Things have been up and down, they got me walking again a few months ago...then I had an accident and got slammed backwards onto a concrete floor, right on my lower spine and fractured something...gonna have to start all over with the injections in the lumbar area, oh well. Other than that I have been cranking on some new projects again, which is AMAZING!
