The assistants use voice queries and a natural language user interface to attempt to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions without the requirement of keyboard input. Witness the rise of intelligent personal assistants, such as Siri for Apple, Cortana for Microsoft, and Mycroft for Linux.
The speech recognition market is estimated to be worth about $10 billion a year in the next four years. And, according to a study by Stanford University, the University of Washington and Chinese search giant Baidu, smartphone speech is three times quicker than typing a search query into a screen interface. The better the accuracy, the more likely customers will engage with this method of control. But technological advances have meant speech recognition engines offer better accuracy in understanding speech. Speech is probabilistic, and speech engines are never 100% accurate. Speech is an increasingly popular method of interacting with electronic devices such as computers, phones, tablets, and televisions.
