We’ve been working with different clients and partners to add voice interfaces to existing and new web applications for months now.
After creating custom-built solutions for different needs, we managed to isolate the core of our voice interface technology, and turn it into an SDK. Today, we are launching that same SDK, named Woice, as a product to help developers around the world add voice control and interaction with web applications.
Woice allows users to literally speak to web applications in your multi-media desktop or laptop device, in two different ways:
1. Transcribe your users’ speech into text input fields: just click on any text field in your application and talk to it. Woice will transcribe your spoken words into the input fields with literally no need to add any code to your application.
2. Interact with your application: couple your Woice application with a DialogFlow Agent, and turn you users’ spoken commands into application events that you can capture and process using your own Javascript code in the application.
In addition to transcribing and interacting, Woice helps you create a full conversational experience by making your application talk to your users.

Real-world conversational services require multiple turns, a user-driven flow and dealing with the company’s whole portfolio of products or services, including available customization options, along a fluent client experience.
Rational Touch’s conversational platform, Rational TALK, enables deploying such rich services across different channels, including Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, and direct over-the-phone client interactions.
Amazon’s voice assistantAlexa allows kids to check out the Spongebob Challenge or Sesame Street games. This is great news because from now on, not only grown-ups will have all the fun; this initiative was created to promote child development.
Even though the experience is mainly directed to kids, parents are able to take a little bit of control as well. They’ll need to verify their identity with a text code sent to their cell phones, which is also linked to their Amazon account.
Google’s research paper confirms that according to Tacotron 2, a text-to-speech system, the precision of the imitation of a person speaking from text is near-human.
In contrast to some AI research activities, Google finds this one absolutely useful with immediate effect, thanks also to Wavenet, the system from Alphabet’s AI research, which has become key to generate the voice in Google Assistant.
Next, you can find two set of voice samples. For each one, a real voice and a computer-generated one is presented. Try guessing which one is the computer-generated one without looking at the source code of the page!

Chinese retail Alibaba’s succeeded in developing an artificial intelligence model that has just outperformed humans in a reading test led by Stanford University. The big question is: what does this mean and where does it lead to?
This has just began and we will witness so many advances we still cannot imagine. It’s obvious that the breathtaking progress of Artificial Intelligence puts millions of jobs at risk and it’s been proved that technology will play an important role in fields such as automated customer service.
