title: "Using voice assistants - overview"
---
We are in [chapter two](/blog/2023/04/27/year-of-the-voice-chapter-2/) of Home Assistant's Year of the Voice.
We can now turn speech into text and text back into speech. Wake word detection is not yet supported.
We are in [chapter 3](/blog/2023/07/20/year-of-the-voice-chapter-3/) of Home Assistant's Year of the Voice. No, wake word detection is not yet supported.
But you can make Assist the default digital assistant and [start it on an Android](/voice_control/android/) phone, tablet, or Wear OS watch with one push of a button.
The video below provides a good overview of what is currently possible with voice assistants. It shows you the following:

You can also create your own [custom sentences](/voice_control/custom_sentences/#adding-a-custom-sentence-to-trigger-an-automation) to start an automation. For example, you could say "Clean the floor when I'm gone" to start the vacuum after you left your home zone. For the full list of new features and some videos, head over to the [chapter 3 blog post](/blog/2023/07/20/year-of-the-voice-chapter-3/) or watch the stream.

While the video below does not include these latest changes, it gives a good overview of some of the basics.
- How to voice-control devices using the Assist button, an [analog phone](/voice_control/worlds-most-private-voice-assistant/), or an [ATOM Echo](/voice_control/thirteen-usd-voice-remote/).
- How to [expose devices to Assist](/voice_control/voice_remote_expose_devices/).
