If you want to be the first to try out the convenience of technology, it seems that you have to be a little adventurous — for example, your family may be shouting about the smart speaker, and you will check out a bunch of things (eh). All in all, it seems that the Google Assistant voice assistant has recently strengthened its “person (voice) recognition” accuracy.

You can ask Nest smart speakers to buy things just by opening your mouth. Google is testing the Voice Match payment function
Although the editor himself is unlikely to turn on this function (and may often check whether it is turned on XD), but if you think you will want to purchase daily necessities through Google’s smart speakers in the future, Google Assistant has now been discovered by foreign media and is testing the function of preparing purchases through voice payment. So in the future, simply speaking – yes, you can buy things simply by “speaking”!

The feature is said to be available in the Google app’s Payments & Security. In the options that require verification before payment, you will see an additional item that can be used to confirm payment through Voice Match.

Of course, enjoying the latest conveniences always comes with a certain level of risk.

Maybe the accuracy of Voice Match is one thing, but based on my experience of communicating with Google every night, I may not be able to activate such a function just yet.(Buying the wrong thing is fine, but buying the wrong quantity is probably… err)。
