    The app transcribes my voice input perfectly, so I don’t understand how that would help? Maybe it’s an issue with using Google’s voice assistant in another language, but as you can see here, the thing suggests the exact same thing with a different number.

      Oh dang, yeah it’s probably the language. Wouldn’t surprise me that other languages aren’t being prioritized by Google, which is a shame. German’s an awesome language.

      Edit cause I’m gonna look stupid for saying German without actually checking. I’m high, blame the grass. Whatever language it is looks awesome

        It used to work, that’s the annoying thing. Some update somewhere broke the functionality and I don’t think anyone over at Google noticed. The worst part is that it’s such an easy command to translate into English.

        Language is Dutch, by the way. Close enough :)

        OP also said it used to work.

        This is AI black box voodoo. They take something simple, shove it into something complicated, and hope it comes out understanding the simplicity.

        it would be trivial to hard code “set a timer for \ ,” but that doesn’t give Google an excuse to spy on people.
