In this episode with Theresa Moulton, Editor-in-Chief, and Tobias Dengel, they discuss how the “voice-first” experience is becoming part of the global technology mainstream, exploring the ways voice will do a better job of serving basic human needs such as:
- Speed: increasing the efficiency of every human-machine interaction
- Safety: creating a less dangerous world
- Knowledge: acquiring critical information when and where you need it
- Inclusion: designing a world where no one is left behind
- Engagement: making life more entertaining and enjoyable
- Transformation: generating voice-enabled business models that will change industry landscapes
Voice tech will liberate humans from bulky devices and return us to the natural communication form we’ve known for millennia. As the ultimate interface, voice will make all we accomplish with technology faster, more accessible, more accurate, and more fun. In the end, it will be more human.
Tune in and hear Tobias’ thoughts on:
- Why do we still communicate with machines via buttons, touch screens, and keyboards?
- What is voice tech?
- Do you mean just what we’re doing with Siri and Alexa?
- And much, much more!
