Voice-Enabled Apps


Technology is a tool that is evolving everyday.  It is always changing, and remaking itself to be, better, and faster than yesterday.  The push for making new technology is at a high demand.  Tech companies are always in competition, to be the first to put out the latest technology.  Even after the companies put out the technology, they have to immediately start to upgrade, and make that tech even better.  A new race that has started in the technology world, is the voice-enabled app.  As humans, we are always looking to make are lives just a little bit easier.  From remotes for changing the channel on TV's, to the riding lawn mower for cutting our grass.  No matter what the task is, we are always looking to make it easier and faster.

            Easier and faster is what we want all want.  This is what voice-enabled apps  will do for us.  As of right now for the most part, apps are controlled by touch on our smartphones.  This soon may be changed to the sound of our voices.  You may be asking yourself, why is this such a big deal to begin with?  The reason being is that with speech, one won't even have to use their hands.  The point of the voice enabled app, is to allow the user, to have their hands free.  This allows the user to be able to pay more attention, to what is going on in front of them, rather than on their phone.  The voice app will allow drivers to send texts, emails, and make phone calls safely, all by just talking to their phones.  The users will not even have to pick-up, or look at their phones to do this.  There are actually hundreds of apps that are using voice to control the app.  One of the most successful voice implications, is iphone's Siri.  Siri has proven to be pretty successful, and shows by the sales of the iphone, since implementing the tech into the iphone.


            I believe that the voice-enabled app, will prove to be very successful.  The reasons being are, people would much rather talk, then to have to use their fingers to type out messages.  Especially since for many people, typing can be difficult at times because, their fingers are bigger than the keys.  Speaking out an email or text is much faster, and easier that typing it out.  Then there is the advantage of having our hands free.  We are always moving, and need our hands to be free as possible.  With all of the pros to the voice enabled app, do you think it will be long before all apps, are able to be controlled by voice?

  1. The way technology and voice control is moving, all apps will definitely be able to do this if it is in the nature of the app to do so.
