Voice reorganization is not something new. Search
engine, like Google, focuses on voice search and recently added another 13
languages, mainly focused on European languages, to its Google search capacity.
This totaled 42 languages. Between Google’s adding more languages and Apple’s
high profile Siri voice-command service, it is very clear that smart phone
drives this hands-free command revolution.
"Over the last 15 years, speech recognition
has had a reputation for not being highly accurate especially when used on
mobile devices. What Apple has done with Siri has laid the groundwork for
greater acceptance and comfort of using voice as an interface between user and
device," says Daniel Hong, lead analyst of customer experience and
interaction at Ovum.
Despite the ground work Siri has done, accuracy is
still the major problem that voice recognition faces. Especially with many new
languages being added, people with different accents, different tones, and
different speaking habits, added more complication and challenge. Voice
reorganization system attempts to solve this problem by continuously collecting
data through user’s experience and continuously improving the accuracy based on
individual user’s voice patter.
Through technology advancement, there is no doubt
that voice reorganization is one more big step toward power smart phone with
new tools, is one more big step that make smart phone a even more important
part of our life. Can we live
without smart phone one day?
