Isn’t it just so frustrating when you’re relying on your phone to direct you, and the bloody voice activation doesn’t even understand ya when you say normal and completely understandable phrases such as, ‘Yeah nah, we shoulda chucked a u-ey‘, or ‘where’s the nearest servo aye‘, or ‘Oi let’s go to Maccas first, I need a feed’?
Y’know? #JustAussieThings
WELL, Google‘s finally listened to the ‘Strayan public’s despo cries for attention. They’ve dealt with the pesky issues the Google App/Maps had understanding our excellent, aurally-pleasing accents, and with pronouncing a bunch of our town names.
According to Google, you can now say these exact sentences, and she’ll understand you:
- OK Google, take me to the nearest Maccas.
- OK Google, send a message to Darren, are we on for footy this arvo?
- OK Google, where is the closest servo?
- OK Google, remind me to buy milk next time I’m at Woolies.
- OK Google, what’s the temperature like in Brissy?
- OK Google, show me pictures of quokka selfies.
- OK Google, what does the sheep say?
- OK Google, what is the most liveable city?
- OK Google, what is a drop bear?
