At IFA 2024, Samsung introduced Voice ID 3 — a revolution in smart home technology that will deliver personalized experiences by distinguishing between the voices of family members.
Home appliances that support Voice ID will be able to understand users’ voice commands and provide personalized solutions based on schedules, interests, health conditions and other personal characteristics.
For example, Voice ID will recognize an elderly user’s voice, recommend dishes based on their diet, and find relevant recipes when they ask about dinner. 4
Syncing accessibility settings across devices
Currently, accessibility settings need to be configured separately for each device. This year, Accessibility Sync will allow users to apply accessibility settings from their smartphones to their home appliances during initial setup.
In the future, Voice ID-enabled home appliances will be able to sync accessibility settings with each user’s voice. For example, Accessibility Sync will recognize the voice of the person in the home and apply the accessibility settings from that person’s smartphone to the washing machine.
Improving usability through more visible screens and voice assistance

At IFA 2024, visitors to Samsung’s booth were able to experience how the company is improving display visibility on its Bespoke AI appliances. The 32-inch display on the Bespoke AI Family Hub 5 Refrigerator features black and white, color inversion, and font magnification for users with low vision. Meanwhile, the 7-inch AI Hub 6 on the Bespoke AI Washer and Dryer supports high contrast for improved readability.
Voice Guide will further enhance accessibility by providing audible descriptions of a device’s status and operations. Once enabled in settings, the feature will read what is displayed on the screen. Voice Guide will be progressively rolled out to products with displays.
Adding convenience with a light touch
