Apple Buys VocalIQ To Supercharge Siri
- 9 years ago
Apple has reportedly bought UK startup VocalIQ, according to a new report from the Financial Times.
VocalIQ builds speech-processing technology.
Its software is designed to facilitate more natural communication between humans and computers, as explained by sources close to the deal.
In a blog post from the company, VocalIQ explains how the challenge of the Internet of Things is in combining human and artificial intelligence to create a continuous stream of new knowledge.
It believes we need more than automated speech recognition to improve the conversation between people and machines.
With the power of machine learning, VocalIQ is attempting to create the type of virtual assistant we have only seen in movies like Her.
Such a tool could enhance Apple's Siri or become part of its automobile project.
