Smart speakers

Smart speaker

— audio systems in the form of relatively small single speakers with "smart" control electronics. For such devices, four key features can be distinguished: Internet connection (usually via Wi-Fi), synchronization with a smartphone or tablet (usually the same), support for voice commands and advanced functionality. In fact, smart speakers are not classic audio systems, but universal “helpers” with speakers for playing music; and the possibilities of voice control in them go far beyond the "musical" functions. So, many models allow you to set a timer or alarm clock on your smartphone, control smart home components, get help on a variety of requests, etc. At the same time, contextual command recognition is often supported, with the ability to process complex queries like “put the group that I listened to yesterday in the evening".
