Google Home is rolling out more updates to address ongoing issues with voice commands, with the latest fixes apparently making everything \u201csnappier\u201d and less prone to errors.<\/p>\n

Gemini for Home started rolling out in early access last year and, while it does indeed deliver a bunch of extra functionality, it hasn\u2019t been the revolutionary update that many were hoping for after years of a crumbling Google Assistant<\/a>. But Google has continually been working on this and is now rolling out another update to voice commands that should bring \u201cnoticeable\u201d improvements.<\/p>\n

Google Home chief Anish Kattukaran revealed <\/a>on Twitter\/X that a \u201cmajor under-the-hood\u201d update for Google Home voice commands has just finished rolling out which was \u201ctargeting hundreds of your most common smart home device commands\u201d in an effort to speed up latency.<\/p>\n

Kattukaran explains:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve slashed latency by 30%-40% for these top requests, and we\u2019re seeing error rates drop significantly across the board. Your smart home should feel noticeably snappier today. Still more to come but try it out in Early Access and let us know if you\u2019re feeling the speed improvements for these kinds of queries.<\/p>\n

This comes just days after a Google Home app update launched<\/a> with a lot of performance, functional, and bug fix updates throughout. Combined with this under-the-hood update that speeds everything up, it all sounds like a welcome improvement.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, this update is already widely available, so the fixes and upgrades should just start showing up as you use voice commands as normal. Let us know in the comments if you\u2019ve noticed any improvements lately!<\/p>\n
