Added under "Features": The Google Nest, like many voice-activated technology devices, creates barriers for people with speech disabilities. People with speech impairments or limited mobility might find it challenging to interact with the smart speaker. Along with speech disabilities, those with hearing impairments may experience difficulty receiving verbal responses from the Google Home. The solution Google came up with to help these users is an accessibility feature to customize voice recognition and integrate with other assistive technologies. Another solution for these disabilities would be to link your smart speaker to your phone and control the commands from their Google Home app1 .
