At present, it is the era of mobile Internet, and mobile phones, tablets and other devices have been widely popularized. The next step is undoubtedly the world of smart home products and wearable smart devices. As a leading AI enterprise in China, Ju Entropy Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is the first to launch a domestic Chinese voice assistant - Xiaozhi Super Speaker. Different from the general WiFi speakers, it allows people to interact in a more natural way - voice. The author was lucky to try this new product, and here I would like to express my sincere thanks to Lei Feng's trial platform and Xiaozhi's official.

The outer packing box of Xiaozhi's super speaker is very simple and elegant, with only Xiaozhi's blue logo

The seal is very distinctive. It is Xiaozhi's self introduction. Welcome to claim it

Quick use guide printed on the top after unpacking, very user-friendly

As shown in the opening picture, Xiaozhi Super Speaker is placed in the foam, which can effectively reduce the possible losses in the logistics process.

Xiaozhi super speakers are divided into black and white. The author's model is black, which looks like a flying saucer. It is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a sense of technology

There are three touch buttons on the top, namely, volume increase (long press means you like the current music), play/pause songs (long press means you give voice commands), volume decrease (long press means you hate the current music), and the middle button is Xiaozhi Logo, which ingeniously combines the button with the brand logo. From the prompt, you can see that every detail of Xiaozhi Super Speaker is carefully crafted, Very considerate to users

Xiaozhi is not big, and its length is similar to that of mobile phone

The speaker power is 3W, which is set around the speaker to make the sound effect better. The blue dust screen also makes Xiaozhi more dynamic

Microphones are set on both sides of the speaker to improve speech recognition ability

The back of Xiaozhi is equipped with 3.5mm standard audio interface, network indicator light and power interface

The bottom of the speaker is equipped with a round foot pad, which can make the speaker more stable. At the same time, it is equipped with a toggle switch, a pinhole reset key, and a two-dimensional code.

List of accessories, including audio cable, power adapter product manual and warranty card

After power on, the blue light flashes, and about 30 seconds later, there will be a voice prompt indicating that the startup is successful. For the first time, you need to use the Smartphone APP Smartphone Assistant to connect, click the plus sign in the upper right corner of the Smartphone Assistant, and enter the WiFi password in the current network. It is important to note that Smartphone does not support Chinese, punctuation and other special characters in the WiFi password temporarily, Xiaozhi assistant will automatically connect to WiFi hotspot generated by Xiaozhi and send WiFi account password. After successful connection, there will be voice prompt. Xiaozhi Super Speaker is built with an Android based operating system. The mobile phone APP is equivalent to a remote control, but it is not necessary to control Xiaozhi through a mobile phone. You can directly issue voice commands to Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi may prompt you to upgrade, and the green light on the top flashes quickly. At this time, no operation is required, just wait for the automatic upgrade to complete.

When the blue light on the top is always on, it means waiting for the command. At this time, the user can wake up the speaker by voice within 3 meters, and can say "Xiaozhi+command" to carry out voice control. For example, Xiaozhi sings a song, I want to listen to the time to cook rain, and Xiaozhi how the weather will be tomorrow. After saying that, the green light on the top flashes slowly, indicating that the system is in processing and needs to wait a little. After testing, Xiaozhi's speech recognition speed is fast, and the recognition longitude is quite high. Many natural languages can support it, which is more user-friendly. Of course, these speech recognition can only be completed under the condition of networking

The blue light on the top goes out when playing music. Considering that the concert affects speech recognition, voice wake-up is not supported at this time. You need to touch the Logo key to pause the music and then perform voice control, or long press the Logo key until the voice prompt "Please command" and then say the command

Long press the heart button to add the current music to your collection. Xiaozhi has a built-in 4G storage. The songs that users like to listen to will be cached in Xiaozhi, and can be played preferentially when there is no network. All songs are based on the cloud, with real-time capture and update. Xiaozhi has a built-in 1400mAh lithium battery, which can play music for about the same time as the mobile phone when not connected to an external power supply, so it is convenient for outdoor use.

The memo list function means that you can tell Xiaozhi some things that need to be reminded, and Xiaozhi will automatically record them and give voice prompts to add the memo successfully. Then the user will be reminded, just like an intelligent assistant. For example, Xiaozhi will remind me to get up at 7:00 tomorrow, remind me to have a meeting at 3:30 the day after tomorrow, and remind my mother to take medicine at 9:50 this morning, It is quite intelligent. The list of successfully recorded notes will appear in the Xiaozhi assistant. Draw a record to the left to delete the note.

Smart devices and profiles can only be used with relevant smart devices. At present, Xiaozhi Superspeaker can cooperate with 28 manufacturers and is increasing. After connection, you can directly control smart devices through voice

In terms of resources, Xiaozhi cooperates with Himalayas, and has a large amount of audio resources, including but not limited to genuine music, crosstalk, talk shows, stories, etc., and displays them according to categories, which is convenient for users to retrieve, and can directly search the resources needed through voice

Xiaozhi supports Airplay and Qplay protocols. Songs on mobile phones can be played directly through Xiaozhi without network
