Voice recognition assistance services are attracting a lot of attention these days
When it comes to voice recognition assistance services, many people would mention Apple's "Siri" or Google's "Google Assistant". But have you heard of the Amazon Echo, which is equipped with Amazon's voice recognition assistant "Alexa", which has been a hot topic in the US recently?


It has already recorded explosive sales overseas, with many selling out during the Christmas shopping season, and is expected to be a device that will replace amazon database smartphones. The big difference with smartphones is that it is "voice first" because it does not have a display.

In Japan, there is still a strong feeling of embarrassment about using services such as voice search in public, but once the convenience of voice recognition becomes more widely recognized, it is likely to quickly become mainstream.

So, this time I would like to introduce the voice recognition assist device service.



1. Amazon "Alexa"







"Alexa" is a voice recognition assistant provided by Amazon and installed on Amazon Echo and other devices. Unlike voice recognition apps that can be used on smartphones, Alexa can be installed in your living space. Not only can you use voice commands to shop on Amazon, but it will also respond to your voice commands, such as playing music and providing news and weather forecasts

. It also contributes to the IoT, allowing you to control home appliances that are connected to the Internet, such as turning them on and off, through voice communication. It has recently become compatible with cars, and the Alexa service area is expanding rapidly. Ultimately
, the more you talk to Alexa, the more it will remember the characteristics of your voice, making its responses more accurate and swift.

Please give it a try.

2. Google Home
"Google Home" is equipped with "Google Assistant", a conversational AI developed by Google.
It is basically a competing service with Amazon "Alexa", and is also a device that can be "installed in your living space". What differentiates it from Alexa is that when you ask a question, it will give you the best answer from the vast database cultivated by Google's search service.



3. LINE "Clova"








"Clova" is equipped with artificial intelligence jointly developed by LINE and its parent company NAVER. LINE says that with "Clova," it will "open up new possibilities for communication through voice dialogue in the post-smartphone, post-display, and post-touch era, and aim to become Asia's Leading Cloud AI Platform."

This is also a device that can be "installed in your living space," just like Amazon and Google, and its strength is that it can take advantage of LINE's positioning in the Japanese market to develop its services.

will attract more and more attention as the next device after smartphones, and just as we shifted from PCs to smartphones, we may be at a turning point where we will shift from smartphones to new devices.
Please keep an eye on the developments of each company in the future.
