Find out how the Panasonic smart speaker can make your life easier
Who doesn’t like the idea of making life just that little bit easier?
There is work of course, and a thousand and one other things that make up our day to day routines, the weekly shopping, the school run, studying...We all have commitments, and commitments take time.
At times, you might think it would be great to have your very own Personal Assistant, to help manage your life, to take care of that weekly shopping while you get on with other things, to help with the school run, or organise your study timetable into something a little more manageable.
While that sort of Personal Assistant isn’t a realistic possibility for most of us, another sort of assistant certainly is, and when it comes to saving time and making life just that little bit easier, it’s a much more realistic possibility for everyone.
We are of course referring to the Smart Speaker, one of the fastest growing markets in smart technology since its inception, and for very good reasons. But what exactly are they, is all the hype surrounding them justified, and what exactly can they do?
Any speaker that can do things other than simply emitting sounds could be labelled as ‘smart’, and the Panasonic GA10 most certainly falls into this category. Like most smart speakers it is a standalone unit but with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibility, giving it impressive connectivity options; from a Chromecast powered music system, such as the mighty Panasonic SC-HC2020, to a wide range of apps on your mobile device, and when it comes to emitting sound, the GA10delivers rich, expansive high quality audio.
The Panasonic GA10 smart speaker also has the power of Google under its sleek and well-crafted exterior. It empowers you with all the information you might ever need, or could find, from a traditional Google search. If you are wondering where the mouse and keyboard come into the equation that brings us nicely to the next feature of the Google Assistant speaker and most others; they are controlled solely by the power of your voice.
Ask it questions, give it commands, and tell it to do the things you need it to, conveniently and simply. Just start your conversation with “OK Google” and take it from there...
What can smart speakers do?
It would be challenging to list in one article; all the things that the Google Assistant could potentially do for you. Each and every one of us is different, making our individual ideas of convenience similarly varied.
Generally though, despite our many differences there are things that most of us have in common. We like to know the weather and whether to take a coat or to stick with just a T-shirt for the day. We like to cook, for ourselves, family, or friends, and most of us have schedules, arrangements, and meetings.
Initiating a simple conversation with your smart speaker can allow you to set reminders, check forecasts, and schedule appointments, not by scribbling them in a diary, or scrolling through our phones...Just simply by saying it.
Yet it doesn’t end there, not by a long way; with the array of applications capable of seamlessly connecting to the Google Assistant speaker, you can do much more.
Want to turn the lights down lower in your lounge to watch that movie you rented on the Google Play store, maybe even order a pizza to enjoy whilst watching it? Want to know that actor’s name, which is on the tip of your tongue, or how many calories were in that pizza?
Simply ask
Or maybe you’d like to stream your relaxation playlist and turn the heating up slightly for those cool autumn evenings, but perhaps you’re a little worried that you might drop off to sleep and forget about the food in your oven?
The Google Assistant speaker can take care of every single one of those things. All you need to do is tell it to...
So if you have been considering whether the Google Assistant speaker might be a worthwhile addition to your life, perhaps it’s worth thinking about how much time you might save with those small things that add up so quickly, things that, if you had someone (or something) to take care of; might make your days a little more convenient, or free up a little more of your precious time...
One thing is for sure, once you start using your smart speaker, you’ll use it more and more, for an ever growing array of things:
“OK Google, tell me about my day”
“OK Google how’s the traffic this morning”?
“OK Google, how did I ever get by without you”?
