CHALLENGE

New developments have made it possible to communicate with devices using natural speech. Amazon, Google and Apple are stepping up their game to bring voice interfaces to the mass market. With that, a plethora of new ways to solve user problems has opened up. Having experienced how relatively simple it is to create your own voice apps and skills, we would like to share this with you. At the same time, the challenge is to shift our minds from pictures and buttons to a new generation of interfaces that includes natural speech. How will you harness the power of VOICE?
