Language Services in Focus

Language services are attracting significant attention worldwide. According to Juniper Research 2018, by 2022 approximately 55% of all US households will be equipped with voice assistants – whether through speakers, digital receivers, connected TVs, cars, or wearables. The total number of installed devices is expected to exceed 175 million at that time. While today most voice assistants are integrated into speakers, there is a clear trend: This technology is increasingly being applied in other devices.

DiscVision as a Pioneer

DiscVision has taken a leading role in this trend by integrating the Alexa Voice Service (AVS) into various devices. The combination of Amazon AVS and push-to-talk or hands-free voice control enables easy operation of devices by voice while simultaneously allowing access to all Amazon Alexa services such as Amazon Music, Kindle eBooks, TuneIn Music, and over 50,000 Alexa Skills.
