How do I activate Anka AI Assistant?

When using the AI assistant, you need to download the soundcore app and keep it connected to the earbuds.

1. Voice Wake-Up

Say “Hey Anka” to activate the AI assistant (Anka) without unlocking your phone. When you're done talking, you can say "Close conversation" or "Stand down" to actively end the conversation, or if you don't say anything for 8 seconds, the conversation will end automatically. After ending the conversation, you'll need to wake Anka up again before starting the next conversation.

2. Gesture Wake-Up

Long-press the touch area on either earbud for approximately 2 seconds. After hearing the earbud prompt, release your finger to begin conversing with the AI assistant. To end the conversation, briefly press the touch area on either earbud once.

3. Use Anka Directly in the App

After pairing the earbuds, open the soundcore app, click "Chat with Anka" in the AI tab, and use the keyboard to start the conversation

Can Anka AI Assistant be used in noisy environments?

Anka AI Assistant uses cloud-based noise reduction to recognize commands even in noisy environments.

Will my conversations be recorded and uploaded? How is data security ensured?

1. Data Collection and Processing

- The AI assistant will only begin recording and processing the user's voice commands after being awakened. No conversation records will be recorded or uploaded when the assistant is not awakened.

- After being awakened, the user's conversation records will be uploaded to improve the service.

- If the user agrees to the “User Experience Improvement Program,” the original audio files will be collected.

2. Data Transmission and Storage

- Encryption Technology: User voice data is transmitted between the device and cloud servers using industry-leading encryption technology to prevent data from being intercepted or tampered with during transmission.

- Secure Storage: User voice data and personal information are stored in a data center with multi-layered security protections after being anonymized and encrypted. Firewalls and access controls are implemented to strictly restrict unauthorized access.

3. User Permissions and Control

- Informed Consent: Before users enable or use specific features, the product clearly informs them of the types of data to be collected and their intended use, and obtains explicit authorization from users.

- Self-Management: Users retain control over their data and can disable the "User Experience Improvement Program" in the app or clear conversation history at any time to stop data collection and processing.

 

Is it possible to disable the voice wake-up feature?

Users can disable "Say 'Hey Anka' to activate" in AI Assistant settings.
