Speech recognitionCan the toy accurately understand the target accent, age group, speaking distance and expected background noise?
Conversation modelCan the AI answer and follow safety rules consistently in the target language?
Text-to-speech voiceIs the selected voice natural, licensed for the use case and appropriate for the product character?
Wake wordDoes the product reliably detect the brand or character wake word? Custom training may require a dedicated human-recorded corpus.

What buyers should provide

Recommended sample validation
