You've probably heard of a chatbot. It's being used so much now, in every industry, because the potential is enormous. Again and again, the statistics show us that in the next 30 years -- chatbots will be everywhere. "Chatbots represent a new trend in how people access information, make decisions, and communicate. We think that chatbots are the beginning of a new form of digital access, which centers on messaging. Messaging has become a huge component of how we interact with our devices, and how we stay connected with the people, businesses and the day-to-day activities of life. Chatbots bring commerce into this part of our lives, and will open up new opportunities."

According to Yext, nearly 50% of broadband households use voice search and artificial intelligence (AI) search capabilities, such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. It's no secret that, as AI adoption rates are skyrocketing, the impact on today's youth increases as well but, it's actually more helpful than you may have anticipated. You may have guessed this, since…you know, the majority of voice assistants don't have a screen. But for kids, this is a great thing! Unlike other search technology that requires typing, conversational AI provides information without actually staring at a screen.

Voice technology interviews hosted by Carl Robinson. This show brings you the latest research and developments in the field of voice technology, through a series of entertaining, inspirational, and informative conversations with voice technology experts. You'll hear about the latest products and concepts in voice, get new ideas for your own voice projects, and learn about the tools and techniques that will turn those ideas into reality. I conduct interviews with people who've actually implemented voice technologies in a project, including academic researchers, CTOs, engineers and software developers, voice interface designers, product managers, human computer interaction experts and more. We delve into all aspects of voice technology, including the enabling technologies such as speech recognition such as speech-to-text (STT) and speech-to-intent; voice synthesis such as text-to-speech (TTS); transformation of identity/emotion; AI, machine learning and data science related to voice audio; and natural language processing (NLP).

Listen to conversations with voice technology professionals, and boost your knowledge and technical skills. This is a voice technology podcast that's focused on the technology itself. The series will include interviews with people who've actually implemented voice technologies in a project, such as academic researchers, CTOs, engineers and software developers, voice interface designers, product managers, human computer interaction experts and more. We will explore many applications of these techniques, such as chatbots and conversational interfaces, human computer interaction (HCI), social robotics and more. We may even have time to cover some related fields such as emotion, and the psychology of conversation and language.
