Apple's smart home Speaker HomePod recently went on sale and research institutes tested smart speakers on the market and found that although Apple's HomePod led the way in terms of sound quality and ease of operation, only 52.3% of AI responds correctly, ranking Bottom.
HomePod, which has Siri Voice Assistant built in, was the first to be launched on the 9th in the English-speaking countries such as the United States, Britain and Australia.
MacRumors, a foreign technology website, reported that LoupVentures, a research institute, conducted a series of tests on HomePod. Apple HomePod leads the way in terms of sound quality and ease of operation. However, in terms of artificial intelligence, while understanding 99.4% of the questions, only 52.3% of the questions answered correctly. Loup Ventures tested three separate HomePods and asked 782 questions in total.
HomePod performed poorly in the AI Voice Assistant category compared to other competitors, with Google Home correctly answering 81% of the questions, Amazon's Alexa 64% correct, and Microsoft's Cortana correct 57%.
For further analysis, HomePod performed well for "local" and "business" issues, such as asking for coffee shops nearby or helping to buy new shoes. In this area, HomePod beat Alexa and Cortana but still lag behind Google.
Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster pointed out that while HomePod is a low percentage of the 782 correct answers to questions, given that HomePod is positioned as a musician in the home, it does not have the same market as the smart home interface, Overall performance than expected.
As time goes by, the researchers explain that HomePod leads the pack with direct additions of calendars, e-mailing, calling and navigation over time, as well as supporting each other with other Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads to reach the ecosystem concept, But HomePod can not respond to these demands at present.
In addition, the study found that HomePod is best at the "superior listening skills," when the user at normal volume question, he heard the problem, even if the speaker is playing music, in other words, "do not shout at smart speakers." And research Think, HomePod's sound quality is "incredible."
