We aim to bring joy to everyday task and explore and inspire new ways of interacting with consumers, brands and each other through voice technology.
Why Voice Technology
When speaking about voice, Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant and Bixby may spring to mind. These voice assistants are just a few of the options available to consumers. Natural language processing has been around since the 80’s but the increase in its accuracy rate and availability has caused the adoption rate among the mainstream to boom. Google Assistant it now available on over 1 billion devices around the globe. Alexa has over 100 million devices in the US alone and soon Bixby will be shipping on over 500 million new Samsung Appliances and devices annually.
Voice technology is becoming a part of everyday life not only in the home, but in the car, in the shops, in enterprise, and right into peoples ears via hearable devices.
Voice technology has applications in such a variety of situations and Talking Tools focus is to be on the forefront of creating experiences by leveraging this exciting technology.
