i know we all gave up on voice thanks to a decade of siri but it can be great ux

for ex: compare the cognitive load using self checkout vs ordering from a human

the latter is far easier – declarative and direct, zero eye hand coordination or ui to understand

what’s the best voice UX you’ve experienced?

chatgpt for me except it also is Not Good
(it usually doesn't actually say its first response - does anyone else get that? gets a few words in and then starts saying something else which also gets cut off)

yes even tho I use chatgpt voice 5-35m a day for months the ux honestly isn’t great.

- end of turn detection very bad, I have to insert umms.
- if it interjects then you complete a thought, then it stops, then you stop, it doesn’t understand it was interrupted.
- the personalities are 1d and annoying, not easy to override their Sys prompts
- it doesn’t let you know when it disconnects, sometimes waste minutes monologuing.
- can’t hand off between a text convo and back for some reason, classic voice is mid.

You should try Gemini, its voice ux is more natural tho anecdotally found its intelligence a bit lower.
