Since the advent of Apple Siri, smart voice seems to be an ongoing technical battle. Amazon launched the eco-voice control product Echo smart speaker, and further promoted the development of intelligent voice embedded platform by integrating Alexa intelligent voice assistant. Microsoft followed closely with its own Cortana Xiaona voice assistant. In order to catch up with Amazon's pace, Google also launched a new generation of intelligent voice assistants at this year's I / O conference, Samsung also stepped up to launch Bixby at the end of this year. The development of third-party developers by various intelligent voice applications is a collective outbreak at the end of the year. The intelligent voice war is on the verge of being launched. Who will make great progress in the intelligent voice embedded platform in the future? Siri is a voice company founded in 2007. It was acquired by Apple for $200 million in 2010. It was originally based on text chat services. Later, through cooperation with Nuance, the world's largest voice recognition vendor, Siri realized voice recognition. In 2011, Apple released the Siri Voice Assistant and integrated it into the iPhone 4S as part of the iOS mobile operating system. On June 12, 2012, Apple officially released the Siri Chinese version, which is a smart voice application (voice assistant) for locating Apple products, covering Apple iPhone 4S, iPad 3 and above. By using the Siri voice assistant, users can quickly read text and voice messages, learn about nearby restaurants, ask about weather conditions, set up voice alarms, and more by voice control and text input. It is reported that iPhone 4S, iPad3, The new iPad Siri support Chinese voice requires iOS6.0 and above. Siri can support natural language input, and can call the system's own weather forecast, schedule, search data and other applications, and can continue to learn new sounds and intonation, providing a conversational response. In terms of human-computer interaction, Siri provides a very vivid dialogue interface, which is not so much for answering questions given by users, and sometimes it is a kind of surprise. For example, if the user utters and enters the words "drink" and "home" (not even grammatical, quite human, and), Siri will judge drunk and go home. And automatically advise whether you want to help call a taxi. Specifically, Siri has the following major features: 1. Play random music with Siri By the user importing the local music to the "favorite" playlist, starting to play the music and telling Siri which song and which singer song to play, Siri will automatically match the favorite song list to achieve random song play. 2. Tell Siri where to go. Finding a route also requires manually entering text. Siri will automatically retrieve Google Maps based on the user's voice to find the optimal route plan and promptly feed back to the user. 3, Siri instead of hand to send SMS It is not convenient to manually input short messages when walking outside, and you can call Siri voice when you want to input SMS content. 4, Siri weather forecast I want to know what the weather is like recently. Ask Siri to know. In general, Siri can understand it correctly. 5, Siri smart alarm clock Hold down the Apple Home button and tell Siri to wake up. Siri will wake up on time. 6, support Sina Weibo to send 7, Siri location reminder In addition to the precise positioning of “home†and “workâ€, Siri places a frequent visit to the place, says “here†and sets a reminder, Siri will remind again in the future. 8, use Google Calendar to schedule 9, Siri answer questions For example: How high is Everest now? What is the GDP of the United States last year? Such a science and life issues, Siri will find the answer through the knowledge engine and give you feedback on the final result. 10. Find a suitable coffee shop In addition, at the WWDC 2016 conference in June this year, Apple released SiriKit , the latest voice assistant for developers . Siri is no longer limited to the basic chat and basic text messaging functions. SiriKit evolves to users by waking up voice And after the user's speech recognition and semantic analysis, application retrieval, contact mail matching transmission, photo search, personal photo search, personal payment, out-of-town car voice application control and other applications, user voice intent recognition It will be more precise and more matching. In October of this year, Apple Siri officially opened some third-party applications when iOS10 was released. Amazon's development of Echo and Alexa services dates back to 2011, much earlier than when the product was made public. Rohit Prasad, deputy director and chief scientist of Alexa Machine Learning, said: "The creation of Alexa was inspired by the Star Trek computer." In other words, Amazon hopes to create a computer interface that can communicate with wise humans. Amazon believes that Echo should not only become a voice-activated speaker, but should completely abandon the display. This means that Alexa not only emphasizes control through sound, but also relies on sound for 100% control. At the same time, the development of the Alexa project requires Alexa to enhance its expertise in machine learning and artificial intelligence. On November 6, 2014, Amazon officially launched Echo smart speaker and voice control assistant service Alexa. It is reported that Echo smart speaker is Amazon's first introduction to support Alexa voice assistant device. Unlike Apple's Siri voice assistant at the time, Amazon positioned Echo as a smart speaker that responded to simple commands. The user wakes Alexa by repeating the wake-up vocabulary, captures the normal conversation sound from any position by Echo far-field microphone, and responds after Alexa gets the relevant voice command. The Alexa device is more convenient than taking a phone out of your pocket, just by equipping the microphone directly into the room. In July 2015, Amazon officially sold Echo smart speakers to all users, and now Echo has become a hot consumer electronics device. According to third-party market research, Echo's market share has surpassed top speaker manufacturers such as Bode, Logitech and Sonos. Since January 2016, Alexa's skills have increased from 135 to 4,000 today. For example, you can pay for a Capital One credit card bill. You can ask for a BBC newsletter. You can ask Good Housekeeping how to remove the red wine stain on the carpet. You can also let Alexa pretend to make a fart. After Amazon launched Echo, it continued to promote Alexa. This is similar to Google's approach: after the launch of the development system Android platform, the Google Nexus series of mobile phones have been launched. Google’s goal in making mobile phones has never been to become a major manufacturer of smartphones, but to use Nexus to prove the performance of Android and encourage other mobile phone manufacturers to use Android. The new design of Alexa smart speakers embeds Alexa's intelligent voice control into many smart speaker products, and will see the embedded Alexa voice interface on many electronic devices in the future. Alexa can be launched without having to open the screen or press a button, but there are also a series of usage problems. Such as overcoming some technical, design and social problems. For example, privacy issues, in order to ensure that Alexa can be heard when waking up the vocabulary, must maintain a state of listening, although Amazon said that any dialogue before the user utters the "wake up vocabulary" will not be recorded and stored. And Alexa is still not aware of how many skills can be completed. This requires more or less Alexa to become more artificial and can accurately predict the skills that users need and tell you directly in the conversation. Cortana's Chinese name is "Xiao Na", a personal voice assistant that Microsoft introduced with the win10 system. It is reported that the Android version of the "Xiao Na" beta beta has been launched as early as August 2015, and the Cortana app test for the iPhone version also started the public beta version in early November of that year. On December 10, 2015, Microsoft Xiaona Cortana's official version of iOS, Android and CM system has been installed in five major domestic application stores - Tencent Application, Baidu Mobile Assistant, Xiaomi Mobile Assistant, Huawei Application Market and 360 Mobile Assistant. Joint starter. Cortana push is limited to China and the United States, and only supports iPhones with iOS 8 and above, and Android devices with Android 4.1.2 and above. According to Microsoft officially, the smart phone has the same intelligence as Xiaona on the PC side. You can check all kinds of information and provide useful suggestions. However, on iOS and Android systems, Cortana has discounted some features and wake-up methods. For example, the iOS system can't realize the options of the Windows phone including the control system settings, open various applications, and wake up Microsoft Xiaona through the voice of "Hello, Xiaona" anywhere in the system. Microsoft Xiaona "can understand the user's preferences and habits", "help users to schedule, answer questions, etc.". Cortana is arguably Microsoft's attempt in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It records the user's behavior and usage habits, uses cloud computing, search engines and "unstructured data" analysis, reads and "learns" data including text files, emails, pictures, videos, etc. in the phone to understand the user. Semantics and context to achieve human-computer interaction. On December 9, 2016, Microsoft released the Android version of Cortana 2.0.1 version update. The new Android version of Microsoft Xiaona uses a new UI design, which is more concise and easy to use. In addition, in terms of functions, you can associate your mobile calendar account, synchronize your schedule, and more. The world's four major technology giants are vying for the intelligent voice control market, Microsoft Xiaona Cortana will naturally not fall behind. In mid-December this year, Microsoft Alexa has officially opened third-party hardware, which means that external devices can also use Alexa. Control. Microsoft announced that it will provide relevant development kits (New Devices SDK) for external device manufacturers, so that they can implant Xiaona. For example, external manufacturer Harmon Kardon will launch a smart speaker product based on Xiaona next year. Cortana is open here, and Microsoft Cortana introduces the New Skills Kit and the Devices SDK, which basically correspond to Amazon's Alexa skill kit and voice service. Third-party hardware manufacturers can also use the Cortana Devices SDK to build gadgets that include Cortana's onboard tools to develop their customized devices. Google has had a very important event in smart voice this year. Do you guess what? Yes, at the Google I/O conference in 2016, Google officially released its first intelligent voice system, Google Assistant. The release here is also an important turning point in Google’s history. The official launch of the Assistant also set the tone for speech recognition and artificial intelligence for Google's next new product. Google Assistant controls smartphones, smartwatches, and other devices, and uses natural language to talk to users to find information, play media content, and perform movie tickets. It can solve problems for you in constant dialogue, instead of using simple questions and answers as before. It also fully understands the context and talks about it around a topic, rather than asking you to say it back. It should be said that this is the most intelligent voice assistant at present. From the published DEMO, Google Assistant can help you find headlines, help you find the fastest path, call your contacts, and even find and share photos with your friends directly in the photo app. An example of this is when Google asks Google what movie tonight, Google Assistant will tell you the answer first, and then when you say that there will be a child going to the movie, Google will automatically exclude the restricted level movie when you After the verbal confirmation, Google will not only send you the QR code of the ticket, but also present a movie review for you. Google Assistant is compatible with third-party services, including TIcketmaster, SpoTIfy, Uber, and Whatsapp, but Amazon's Alexa already has an edge in this space. Analysts believe that Google Assistant can help Google compete more effectively with Amazon Echo devices while competing with other personal assistants Siri, Cortana and Alexa. On December 8, Google also launched the ConversaTIon AcTIons system tool, which helps developers build chat bots for use with Google Assistant. It is understood that by allowing third parties and chat bots to interact with Google users, chat bots can ask questions and answers, and ultimately help with sales and do some booking. On December 9, Google officially prepared to open its voice assistant Assistant to third-party application developers. By integrating with third-party applications, Google Assistant will become more competitive in the rapidly growing voice assistant field. Originally, only Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google’s four technology giants dominated the field of intelligent voice, but it must be mentioned that Samsung has invested a lot of energy in intelligent voice control this year, in the field of artificial intelligence. It is not just a few of the old talkers, many manufacturers have realized the potential unlimited potential and development prospects in the field of intelligent voice. In October of this year, Samsung officially acquired Viv Labs Inc, a US machine learning virtual assistant startup. At the same time, it also acquired Harman, a brand of Harman Group in New York, which specializes in the production of home and car audio. These initiatives further demonstrate Samsung's determination to make great achievements in artificial intelligence voice. Viv Labs is one of the founding teams of Apple Siri and a company specializing in artificial intelligence and virtual assistants. After being acquired by Samsung, Viv Labs also brought the latest artificial intelligence voice assistant product Viv. It is understood that Viv Labs was founded by Daige Gitelaus, the father of Siri, and is a platform dedicated to building an open artificial intelligence assistant. In a future plan report from Samsung, Viv Labs' artificial intelligence platform Viv will be integrated into the Galaxy smartphone in 2017, and the voice-assisted service will be extended to home appliances and wearable high-tech equipment. According to the latest news, Samsung's Samsung Galaxy S8, which will be released in April next year, will use Bixby, a new artificial intelligence voice assistant. Bixby is based on the Viv artificial intelligence engine and will appear in almost all pre-installed applications of the Galaxy S8 for system-level integration. Completely replace the current S Voice. At the same time, the Galaxy S8 AI will be open to developers, enabling them to integrate more new features and interact with third-party services. By then, Bixby Voice Assistant is more advanced and intelligent, providing answers and assistance depending on the usage environment. For example, in an album, you can show it photos and videos that meet certain conditions. With the four major technology giants Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, Microsoft Cortana, Google Assistant, and later Samsung Bixby have entered the intelligent voice control, intelligent voice embedded interface will be an important access point for voice control. Intelligent voice open source will be the next generation computing platform for the development of future voice platforms. The rise of artificial intelligence technology will further drive the rapid development of intelligent voice.
