Comment on Is it possible to use an Android device entirely as "black box" (without touching it looking at it)?

Not without tearing your hair out in frustration when it constantly mishears you or doesn’t even fucking activate. I don’t know how well Alexa or Siri work in this regard, but Android’s shit fucking sucks.

Yeah, the Google Minis are hit or miss for us a lot, too. I don’t generally have the keyword activation switched on with my phone, but was going to activate it if need be for this. I’ve got a Bluetooth headset with very good background noise cancellation (according to those I’ve spoken to on the phone), so I’m hoping/assuming that will help it understand me more reliably, and that Assistant activation via its button will obviate the need for activating keyword activation.
