Xiaomi officially released the Cantonese function of Xiao Ai on the three terminals of mobile phones, speakers, and TVs. The new function not only understands the user’s Cantonese instructions but also supports answering and communicating in Cantonese.
At the same time, Xiaomi also released a cartoon for publicity, showing the scene of the beautiful boy drifting north of Guangdong. Check the images below.
Moreover, Xiao Ai’s voice assistant officially started supporting the Cantonese dialogue function in May of this year. However, the 5.0 version of Xiao Ai on Xiaomi mobile phones was properly released at the end of 2020.
From November 11, the Cantonese dialogue ceremony had beta testings and recruited 990 users who regularly used “Cantonese” to experience it. After half a year, the function has been completed and had been rolled out gradually to all users.

Besides, on February 5, 2021, Xiao A’s Cantonese function was officially launched on Xiaomi TV, and two-way conversations are also available. Xiaomi said that it has deeply adapted more than 20,000 sentences of general speech to suit Cantonese culture, and has made a special adaptation of speech recognition for Cantonese scenes.
Xiao AE used the Cantonese speech synthesis technique provided by Guangzhou Shensheng Technology Co., Ltd., and the rate of accuracy is much higher than the overall level of the industry.
Currently, Xiao Ai’s dialogue function supports only Mandarin and Cantonese but the bid recognition ceremony also supports the Northeast dialect, Henan dialect, Hebei dialect, Shandong dialect (Jinan), Shanxi dialect (Taiyuan), Shanan dialect (Xi’an) and Tianjin Supports dialect.
