Bixby Voice recognizes your voice commands more accurately if you speak according to standard language conventions.

 

Speak clearly so that Bixby can understand you correctly. Bixby may not recognize your speech correctly if:

 

• You speak with a strong accent or regional dialect.

 

• You use newly coined or slang terms.

 

• Several people speak at once.

 

• You speak in a noisy environment.

 

• You speak too quietly or too far away from the microphone.
