How Do Computers Understand You?

Computers understand you like a detective solves a mystery. When you type or talk, your device turns your words into clues, letters, sounds, or even patterns. The computer uses these clues to guess what you're trying to say, just like solving a riddle.

Examples

When you type 'hello' on your phone, the computer reads each letter one by one.
If you talk to Siri and say 'play music', it turns your voice into words and knows what to do.
Your smartwatch can understand when you say 'Start a timer' because it learned how to recognize those words.
