, Purpose
Productivity
Smart speakers are more like mini personal assistants, due to the fact that they make
smaller things really easy. You need to set an alarm? Just say it and the PA will do it.
Want to know the forecast? Just ask. Want to play a song? Just say the word. These small
things combine to save a lot of time doing tedious stuff.
Safety and Security
As for how safe the system is, there have been confirmations that conversations are
being recorded. It caused a lot of people to stop using them, the controversy has died off
since then.
Efficiency and Effectiveness
Smart speakers can pick up voices from various distances since it uses far field
technology, this is unless the device itself is emitting a loud noise. This can cause users
to have to scream to get the device’s attention.
User Experience and Satisfaction
A popular smart speaker called the Echo Dot has attained 4.5/5 stars on Amazon. The
best reviews praise the device’s features and audio quality. The worst the reviews get is
complaining about the software the device can use, which isn’t really a complaint against
the device itself.
Solving New and Existing Problems
Not only do smart speakers take care of tedious things for regular people, it can also do
it for the disabled. If someone is paralysed and needs someone else to perform the most
basic actions they can eliminate some of that need. All they have to do is ask the smart
speaker to turn on a light, play a song, call someone and many others.
