How to get users using a Digital Assistant – Breathe Publication – Medium

People ask me if I use Siri / Cortana / Alexa / Bixby / Google Now (At first, it was Majel, honouring Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, then the sole and only voice of the computer in Star Trek), and the answer is no. It is not uncommon for me to have to repeat my query multiple times, and try to sound like a non-accented English-speaking American (and fails 75% of the time). And after 2–3 try, I just give-up (and use the keyboard in the case I was dictating). After 2–3 months of that repeating scenario, I just stopped using it altogether. I never even tried it on my Mac… I'm faster with my keyboard in 99% of the scenarios!
