AI Voice
AI Voice provides voice-activated assistance and commands on OnePlus devices using OnePlus AI speech recognition.
Why It Exists
Users need hands-free access to device functions for convenience, accessibility, and multitasking. AI Voice provides an always-available voice assistant that can perform complex tasks through natural conversation.
How It Works
AI Voice is OnePlus's voice assistant powered by OnePlus AI speech recognition and natural language understanding models. The feature can perform tasks, answer questions, set reminders, control device functions, and integrate with smart home devices. It supports wake word activation and always-listening mode, providing hands-free access to device functionality.
Everyday Use Cases
- Set reminders and calendar events
- Control smart home devices
- Send messages and make calls
- Get weather and news updates
- Answer questions using web search
- Control music playback and volume
User Workflow
- Say the wake word or press and hold the button
- Speak your request in natural language
- AI processes the request using speech recognition and NLU
- Assistant responds verbally and/or with visual cards
- User can follow up with related questions
AI Processing Flow
Wake word detection runs on-device using the NPU for always-listening mode. Speech recognition and NLU may use cloud processing for complex queries. User audio is encrypted in transit.
Inputs / Outputs
Inputs:
- Voice input
- Wake word detection
- Natural language queries

Known Limitations
- Requires OnePlus devices with NPU for on-device wake word
- Complex queries require internet
- Limited to supported languages and regions
- May struggle with accents or background noise
Unsupported Scenarios
- Does not process audio in secure apps
- Some features region-restricted
- Cannot control third-party apps without integration
Performance Notes
