Step 5: Train Bixby to Recognize Your Voice

After setting your preferred language, it's time to teach Bixby to recognise your voice. You will be prompted to say specific phrases like "Hi Bixby" ("Hi Bixby") and others such as setting alarms or adjusting the volume. This ensures Bixby can accurately respond to your voice commands.
