How are they solving the problem of people in the same room with different accents... that sounds like a really hard one to figure out. Google Voice needs some training for example just to be able to recognise the initial "Ok, Google".

I have a broad Scandinavian accent, my Fire TV still understood me right out of the box.

I was long very negative on the short/medium term potential for speech recognition, but while I still don't use it very often, it's convenient in enough situations that I use it now and again.
