Market Overview

A voice assistant is a computer assistant that listens to specific vocal commands and uses speech recognition, language processing algorithms, and voice synthesis to return relevant information or perform specified actions as directed by the user. Voice assistants use artificial intelligence and voice recognition to provide the correct and effective results that the user is looking for. Asking a computer to set a timer may appear simple, but the science behind it is fascinating. Voice assistants can deliver relevant information based on specific instructions, also known as intentions, voiced by the user by listening for specific keywords and filtering out extraneous noise. Many voice assistants provide a very specialized feature set due to their wide range of integrations, while others prefer to be open-ended to assist with nearly any situation at hand. The voice assistant market is expected to expand rapidly as natural language processing and automated speech recognition technologies advance. Voice Assistants aid in the interpretation of natural language and can help with tasks such as meeting scheduling, sports score reporting, and weather forecasting. The rapid adoption of cloud technology by the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, healthcare, and automotive sectors opens up opportunities for growth in the voice assistant industry. In addition, younger customers and households with children are driving the growth of voice-activated search engines. The emergence of the omnichannel environment coupled with artificial intelligence is driving consumer retail services to voice shopping.
