Baking with Voiceitt

Baking with Voiceitt

One of our participants, Trisha from Northern Ireland, has been trying out the Smart Home functions in Voiceitt to help with baking cupcakes! She used Voiceitt commands to turn the mixer on and off via a Smart Plug, and to set a timer in Alexa for when the cakes would be ready. Trisha was one of our first participants, joining us through the Cedar Foundation to test and give feedback on the Voiceitt app. She’s now also donating speech samples through Voiceitt Ensemble. Thanks Trisha for all your amazing work so far! Check out her video:

‘Baking with Voiceitt’ video text description

The video starts by showing a young woman, Trisha, standing in a kitchen cracking eggs into a jug. She tips the eggs, some oil and some cake mix into a mixing bowl. She then uses the Voiceitt speech recognition app on her phone to say ‘Alexa, mixer on’. The app turns the mixer on using a smart plug, and later she says ‘Alexa, mixer off’ to turn it off. We see Patricia measuring the cake mix into cupcake cases then pass the tray to her support worker who puts them in the oven to cook. Trisha sets a timer by saying ‘Alexa set a 10 minute timer’ to the Voiceitt app on her phone. When they’re out of the oven, she tests them with a cocktail stick and smiles because they’re ready. When they’re cool she adds icing and decorates them with coloured sweets. She makes letters on each cupcake then arranges them in front of her to spell ‘Voiceitt’, says ‘Voiceitt’ and smiles.
