Voice Assistant (Beta) is similar to Siri or Google Voice in that it allows you to control certain actions on your WeWALK by asking her commands. For example, you can ask Voice Assistant to open the “Explore” screen by activating Voice Assistant and saying “Tell me what’s around me.”
To activate Voice Assistant from your phone:
- Select the Voice Assistant button on the bottom of the menu options screen.
- Double tap the Voice Assistant button. Your microphone will be activated and you will hear a sound to let you know that she’s listening.
- Say a command to the Voice Assistant. Wait a few seconds after you say your command and you’ll hear another audio alert to let you know that she has stopped listening.
- Wait a few seconds and voice assistant will process your command. To view a list of commands you can try with Voice Assistant, see the WeWALK support article titled “What Skills Does the Voice Assistant Have?”
To activate Voice Assistant from your WeWALK smart cane:
- Make sure the WeWALK horn is disabled by going to the Preferences menu. To do this, pair your smart cane with the WeWALK app and to go the Preferences menu in the app. Select the horn option and disable it.
- After you’ve disabled the horn you can use the gesture to activate voice assistant from your cane. On your WeWALK smart cane, double-tap the touchpad, but make sure to hold your finger down on the touchpad after the second tap.
