Broadcast Voice

[davidclchan]

How do I get Google Home to Broadcast with my voice rather than it interpret my message and broadcast with the google assistant voice?

I usually broadcast a message in Chinese to my kids but Google Home would end up broadcasting the message in English words that sound alike so the messages end up won't make any sense.

My wife's broadcast in Chinese with no issue, uses her voice and exact message.

Hey there,
Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to drop in here to help.

I understand that these issues can be confusing but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this? If so, what troubleshooting steps have you tried? 

I also wanted to let you know that this is a bug that we have created a ticket for and our engineering team is reviewing this and investigating how to resolve this matter. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Garrett DS

I still have this problem. I tried changing settings as suggested by other blogs etc, but nothing works. I am forced to use English to get the message through to the kids with the Google home, which sucks, since we want to encourage them to speck Chinese at home.

Hey davidclchan,

I am sorry for the late reply. I wanted to check in and see if you are still running into the issue? Having the device not work as intended is never ideal.  Please let me know, as I would be happy to assist.

Yes, still had the problem. Had stopped using the function with Google Home and gone back to yelling up the stairs to get the kids. 😞

Hey davidclchan,

I am sorry to hear you are still having trouble getting it to broadcast the message to the kids. Yelling upstairs is never a fun time. Let's jump in and see if we can resolve the issue for you.

Do you mind me asking if you have set up Google Assistant on your device? All devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as well? I have linked a couple of articles that may be of use. I would recommend checking both of these out, as they have additional troubleshooting steps. 

Please let me know if that helps.

Best regards,

Jake
