> language is difficult to disambiguate without context.
So why don't Siri/Alexa/etc developers give them context? I would LOVE to be able to say "Alexa, play playlist on shuffle mode" or even simple "Alexa, turn on shuffle and go to next song"
But no, the word "and" is completely off limits. Saying "shuffle playlist" instead of "play playlist" also doesn't work. I have to literally use 3 commands to do what I want:
"Alexa, play Taylor Swift" ... "Alexa, shuffle" ... "Alexa, next song"
With context, I could say "Alexa, play Taylor Swift on shuffle"
Apparently Siri is gaining the ability to deal with follow up questions in iOS11. Excited to try it out.
Spotify is default. She also knows how to do noun recognition. If she can tell the difference between “play” and “stop”, she can differentiate shuffle and Spotify.
I’m also ok sayin “Alexa, shuffle Taylor Swift” if that’s easier for their grammar.
