Smarter Homes

The popularity of Smart Speakers is growing from strength to strength with sales predicted to exceed 35 billion dollars is a few of years. Not bad for a product category that did not even exist before November 2014. Voice is such an intuitive natural way to communicate as humans have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years. The keyboard may well be viewed as an anomalous blip in a generation or two! The secret of course is the perfection of voice recognition to be able to accurately understand the commands being given to the Smart Speaker. This advances it from just being a voice-controlled device to play music into an invaluable personal assistant to answer questions, book events, and control devices in the home. The latter also means that Smart Speakers are forming the hub of a Smart Home to control the lighting, heating, access, smoke detection, and even run the bath water via its connection to your smart phone either directly or remotely via the internet.
