Talk to me : how voice computing will transform the way we live, work, and think / by Vlahos, James,author.(CARDINAL)804627;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-307) and index."A New York Times Magazine writer explores the Next Big Thing in tech--the impending revolution in voice recognition--and shows how it will upend Silicon Valley and transform how we use computers, the Web, and much more. Every decade or so brings a seismic shift in how people interact with tech, from the PC to the internet to the smartphone. James Vlahos shows that we are on the cusp of the next shift: to voice computing. Siri and Alexa are early forms of this technology, but the day is coming when we'lltalk as fluently with our phones, appliances, cars, etc. as we do with any human. Vlahos explains the enormous AI challenges that voice computing presents, and unpacks its vast economic, cultural, and psychological impact. He reveals how Google, Facebook,Microsoft, and other titans are competing fiercely to create the new voice-driven interfaces. Amazon has devoted an entire secret building to their efforts, and other companies are making similarly huge plays. Vlahos doesn't shy away from the troubling questions that voice computing raises. Will people become emotionally dependent on lifelike computers? Will we confide in them in ways that further erode our privacy? Will they deepen our addiction to all things digital? We are on the verge of a transformation as big as the iPhone. Talk to Me will help us get ready."--

The sound of the future : the coming age of voice technology / by Dengel, Tobias,author.(CARDINAL)878521; Weber, Karl,1953-author.(CARDINAL)300198;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-314) and index.Prologue: the power and potential of voice technology -- Introduction: unmistakable signs of the impending voice-technology wave -- The human needs met by voice technology. Speed: increasing the efficiency of every human-machine interaction -- Safety: creating a less dangerous world -- Knowledge: getting critical information when and where you need it -- Inclusion: creating a world where no one is left behind -- Engagement: making life more creative, entertaining, and enjoyable -- Transformation: voice-enabled business models that will change industry landscapes -- Rise to the challenge. Falling barriers: overcoming the technical, organizational, and social challenges to voice technology -- Making voice an integral part of your existing business systems -- Training voice tools to understand your world -- Designing and redesigning the multimodal user experience."Voice is the next technology--remarkably similar in potential impact to the Internet and mobile computing--poised to change the way the world works. Tobias Dengel is in the vanguard of this breakthrough, understanding the deep, wide-ranging implications voice will have for every industry. And here he connects the dots about this emerging paradigm to vividly illustrate how business leaders can stay ahead of the game, rather than scrambling to catch up, as voice technology gradually reveals its power, creating a host of new winners and losers. Using fascinating, colorful stories, Dengel explains 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 safety, speed, accuracy, convenience, and fun, as well as making it possible for hundreds of millions of people around the planet to participate more fully and productively in today's high-tech world by making interactions with technology virtually effortless. A pervasive technology like the Internet and mobile, voice, with applications in marketing, sales, service, manufacturing, and logistics, will change the way we work at every level and every function, driving down costs, boosting productivity, and enabling the creation of entirely new business models. This is not simply about Siri and Alexa. They are the tantalizing but incomplete precursors of the ultimate interface that will make technology easier, faster, more accurate, and more human."--
