Voice Match in GA

Hi all,

If I am not mistaken, Voice Match doesn't seem to work on the Sonos One. Is Sonos thinking of implementing it?

Thanks

    While I can't share any specifics on if it may happen, I'll pass along the request to the team that you're looking for the feature. Our team does work closely with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant teams as well, so feedback about features that are missing and requested are always welcome.

    Hi dabitbol

    Voice Match is governed by Amazon as is the Alexa Assistant. In short Amazon has decided what features of Alexa can be incorporated in a Sonos product. Sonos cannot flip a switch or send out an update to turn on Voice Match (at least not at this time). So that said it could come in a future update; but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.

    Cheers!

      Sorry, I glossed over the GA you in your post. However the same applies regarding your question.

      Cheers!

        Lately Google Assistant on my Sonos One seems to think I'm saying "Talk" when I say "Stop", and responds "I'd love to chat!" instead of stopping what it's playing, although the two words seem nothing alike to me. Maybe voice match specific to the Sonos One would help. 🙂

        I wanted to add my vote to getting Voice match added for the Google assistant. It's a great feature. And means better access to your own services and music. It's the reason I use Google assistant around the house. And to be honest part of the reason of getting the Sonos one and beam.

          Hi,
          I would like to add my support for the voice match features for the Sonos, as it is a security concern as anybody within the house will have access to the data of the Google account linked to.

          If voice match was implemented then, for example, my voice would allow access to my calendar and the wife's voice would allow access to her calendar, and anybody else that tries would get no response or limited to public information.

          @Ryan S
          Please advise if there is a timescale for the implementation of this feature now?

          Thanks.

            Hi sunnyd24, there's no timeline at the moment as we haven't confirmed if this feature can be added, or under development. I'm happy to add your voice to the request to the team though.
