Why you should outsource your Voice-Assisted App Development?

According to Tractica, unique consumer users for virtual digital assistants will grow from more than 390 million worldwide users in 2015 to 1.8 billion users by 2021.

For the vast majority of us, an ultimate luxury would be an associate/assistant who consistently foresees our every need, and makes a move when essential. That extravagance is currently accessible, gratitude to artificial assistants, otherwise known as voice assistants.

To call any technology that makes our lives easier by one name is almost impossible though. There are a variety of terms that refer to the assistant that can perform tasks or services for an individual, and they are almost interchangeable — but not quite. They differ mainly based on how we interact with the technology, the app, or a combination of both.

Statistics

• According to Voicebot.ai, Amazon Echo maintains a 61% market share among smart speaker owners while Google Home closed the gap by rising 5.5% to a 24% share.

• By 2020, the Research Firm Canalys expects the smart speaker installed base to more than double again to 225 million and continue rising to more than 300 million by 2022.

The Journey

Looking into the journey of voice assistant, it started way back in 1961 when IBM introduced the IBM Shoebox, the first digital speech recognition tool, that recognized 16 words and digits. With its evolution since then, it was 2011 when IBM’s Watson won Jeopardy. And that’s when the voice assistant started growing exponentially, with Amazon Alexa launching in 2014, followed by Google Home in 2016.

Voice Assistant, with its various versions like-Echo, Echo Plus, Echo Dot, Tap, Echo Show, Echo Spot, Echo Look, Home, Mini and more, is running the market and evolving more and more to adapt to what’s all new to the world.
