When you launch Bixby for the first time, the Bixby intro page will appear. You must select the language to use with Bixby, sign in to your Samsung account according to the on-screen instructions, and then agree to the terms and conditions.
Bixby saves data about your usage patterns and provides suggested commands based on your current environment.
If you are already signed in, this step will not appear.
Bixby Voice recognizes your voice commands more accurately if you speak according to standard language conventions.
Speak clearly so that Bixby can understand you correctly. Bixby may not recognize your speech correctly if:
• You speak with a strong accent or regional dialect.
• You use newly coined or slang terms.
• Several people speak at once.
• You speak in a noisy environment.
• You speak too quietly or too far away from the microphone.
If you would like to further customise your Bixby settings like enabling or disabling automatic listening or change the language, follow the below guide to alter the settings to your preference.
