Sonos will roll out its very own voice control assistant on June 1st in the United States. As The Verge<\/em> reported earlier this month<\/a>, Sonos Voice Control will be added to all of the company\u2019s voice-enabled smart speakers through an upcoming software update. Once it arrives, owners of those devices will be able to start music playback, skip tracks, adjust volume, and send audio to other Sonos speakers in their home using \u201cHey Sonos\u201d voice commands. Sonos Voice will expand to France later in 2022, but the company hasn\u2019t announced rollout plans beyond those two initial countries. <\/p>\n

Amazon Music, Apple Music, Pandora, Deezer, and Sonos Radio are the supported services at launch. Some will be disappointed by the absence of Spotify, but during a recent press briefing, Sonos clarified that the assistant can still execute core commands like pause, stop, track controls, volume, and so on for Spotify content that\u2019s already playing on a Sonos system, even though customers won\u2019t be able to request a song or playlist from Spotify using Sonos Voice Control.<\/p>\n

Sonos tapped a celebrity to become the voice of Sonos Voice Control. Giancarlo Esposito, known best for his roles in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul,<\/em> and The Mandalorian,<\/em> has lended his recognizable voice to the service. The actor went through a lengthy recording session to give Sonos\u2019 machine learning system enough samples to work with.<\/p>\n

Sonos Voice Control is strictly focused on music and isn\u2019t meant to challenge Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple\u2019s Siri as a full-fledged digital assistant. The company says customers will be able to use Sonos Voice and Alexa concurrently on the same device, sticking to the latter for smart home controls and inquiries about the weather, calendar appointments, and general questions that Sonos\u2019 service isn\u2019t intended to handle. Google Assistant cannot be used alongside Sonos Voice Control. <\/p>\n

Aside from basic music commands, Sonos Voice Control can also be used to group speakers and rooms \u2014 you can tell it to play something \u201ceverywhere\u201d to activate all of your speakers \u2014 or move the audio from one device to another in seconds. Sonos has designed the service to be as fast as possible; the company says that it limits \u201cresponses and chimes\u201d in favor of quickly executing a voice command. <\/p>\n

Sonos Voice Control has been developed to understand everyday language instead of requiring specific phrasing. (For example, you can say \u201cHey Sonos, turn it up\u201d instead of \u201cincrease the volume.\u201d) And as long as they\u2019re strung close together, you can follow one voice command with another without having to say the \u201cHey Sonos\u201d phrase every single time. For portable Sonos products like the Move and Roam, you can also check on battery life.<\/p>\n
