Why dont voice assistants use a finishing word or sound?
People are already trained to say a name to start. Curious why the tech has avoided a cap?
“Alexa, what’s tomorrow’s weather [dada]?”

“Alexa, what’s tomorrow’s weather [dada]?”
"Alexa, what's tomorrow's weather? Over."
"It will be sunny with a high of 10 degrees. Over"
"Thank you. Over and out."
Just add some noise and Push-To-Talk and it will be great for ham radio enthusiasts!
When I speak to an agent, siri, or whatnot, I am always worried that they will assume I'm done talking when I'm thinking. Sometimes I need a many-seconds pause. Even maybe a minute… For Sire and such, I want to ask something simple "Hey Siri, remind me to call dad tomorrow". Easy. But for Claude and such, I want to go on a long monolog (20s, a minute, multi-minutes).
To me, be the best solution would be semantic + keyword + silence.
Hey Agent, blablablabla, thank you.
Hey Agent, blablablabla, please.
Hey Agent, blablablabla, oops cancel.
I have the same issue. It gives this very weird minor sense of public speaking anxiety where I almost feel the need to write down what I'm about to say, which negates the whole purpose. Only solution I've found is using push-to-talk with some of the system wide STS applications.
And suddenly your address book has changed the name from "Dad" to "Tomorow"
Never skip an opportunity for a dad joke.
Because that’s extremely unnatural.
