A handful of voice assistants introduced by tech giants have become household names, but their high-profile has not been accompanied by reliable results and repeated use. The lack of ubiquitous voice apps and general blasé uptake by consumers resulted in Opus Research and Speechly asking the question: are Voice Assistants necessary? The outcome is a white paper that examines the common attributes of successful voice apps that make it easy for individuals to use very brief utterances to accomplish complex, but everyday, tasks.

White Paper Topics:

  • Learnings from Successful & Unsuccessful Voice Experiences
  • Impact of Speed with Voice User Interface (UI) Features
  • Making more of Search and Navigation
  • Preparing for Voice in the Metaverse
