I've had a lukewarm experience with Google's voice recognition. Between my phone and a few Nest Mini devices, it's not uncommon for the device I'm speaking into to misunderstand or outright not pick up on my Hey Google cue. And when I do so I have to speak very clearly almost to the point of it being unnatural.
I hate to say it but I've used others' Amazon/Apple devices and it's not nearly as difficult.
I find that the cadence of your words matters very much with Google. Like the words matter, but your pitch and tone matter too. I had to retain my model because it wouldn't go off when I'd yell ok Google at it, but it would go off when I'd say "ok cool" in convo. Now I have to say it with a specific inflection for it to recognize what I said. When I say it with the right inflection I'd say it works 80+ percent of the time
