Hello All,
Yes. Which of the digital assistants (Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, Cortana) source/cite Wikipedia? Are there any ongoing studies on the bias of digital assistants towards a specific source? Citing specifically means, when a user enables any of the above-mentioned digital assistants by asking, "What is or Who is" questions, when is Wikipedia a source?
Apologies for the grammar jumble.
Sincere regards,

Stella, would you please clarify? Are you asking *which* of these four assistants note Wikipedia in their responses? I've experienced Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant sourcing information, depending on the context. I don't have firsthand experience with Cortana (other than the Windows 10 startup routine with a fresh machine image), although maybe someone on the list knows.
The Wikipedia for iOS and Wikipedia for Android apps get the inbuilt keyboard soft button microphone support for search contexts, although they're not arranged for this as their *primary* search behavior. I've seen user requests for and, incidentally, expressed interest in, this sort of thing (e.g., as a configuration option for launch), although it may not map up neatly to the user personas that would/do use the apps and would certainly require some deeper user experience review for consideration.

Curious, what percentage of digital assistants (Alexa, Siri, Cortana, Google) cite Wikipedia when a person asks a question?
Does the current Wikipedia mobile app support voice search?
Are there any reports on this? Thanks in advance!
Sincere regards,
Stella
