Which voice activated platform do you use?

[MWhalen3]

Between the Ford’s “Ok Ford..”, Siri and Alexa- I’m wondering if its overkill. Do you use them all? If not, which one do you use? I’m using Siri the most, but wonder if I’m missing something by not using the others.

I use none of them. But I'm old.

Same. Nobody listens to me anyway so I don't bother.

I mostly use Google Assistant via Android Auto, but I've been experimenting a little with Ford Sync, Alexa, and Siri as well.

About half the time when I try to navigate using Sync voice commands, it doesn't no what I'm talking about.

When I was testing different commands with Alexa, I found a funny quirk. You can control stuff like the temperature - "Alexa, set the temperature to 70." Next I tried the windows. "Alexa, roll down the windows." It gave me some error saying that command wasn't available for windows. So I tried, "Alexa, turn the windows off." I thought it would give me the same error. Nope, it just said, "Ok, turning windows off" but it didn't actually do anything. ?

I just use the Ford push button on the steering wheel to ask for a call to someone (long press into Siri since you can’t use Sync to dial if you are connected with CarPlay) and to set a destination in Ford’s Nav (short press). ??

Google and Ford. Fired Alexa a few months ago.

Siri as that is what I am used to. My six year old grand daughter and I have so much fun with Siri. We get pretty silly!

Generally none, unless I need navigation while moving, then I use whatever turns on.

I use Siri. I found Ford Sync to be horrible.

"Hey Siri, call Sandy at home." No buttons pressed (except the hang up button on the steering wheel to end the call). I also use Siri to send texts. I found OK Ford to be, well, less than OK. And I refuse to use Alexa.

Also use Siri when needed, usually if sending/responding to a text message. I dumped Alexa and Google Home and don't intend to look back.

I just shout to whoever is in the passenger seat.

Inside the car, Siri for Nav, texting, phone calls and music.

Away from the car, Siri for remote start, lock, unlock, battery level, range, tire pressure, etc.

Somewhere at DEN, a flight departure monitor running Windows XP just shut down for perhaps its last time thanks to you.

I'm old too and use nothing, as others have said, no one listens to me anyway......oh wait, I do press the voice button and ask for "weather", and when I want to listen to my opera arias from Rossini operas, I put in the usb and say "usb source" to get it to play.....wow I'm not as old as I thought I was...hahahaha
