Interestingly, so far not a single voice assistant or just a voice recognizer can properly process speech containing words from different languages. They also all have trouble recognizing words that are not in the English dictionary but are present in some limited list (like a phone directory). I still haven’t been able to teach Siri or Google to recognize Russian names spelled in Latin script through transliteration. It seems like a basic function of the phone, yet no, it doesn’t work.
