In the second episode of the Voice First Revolution podcast, we start a discussion about the smart-speaker market and come to the conclusion that this is only the beginning for Poland. At the same time, we notice the fact that these devices are already available in stores despite the lack of any official support for the Polish language. This is the episode in which we try to embrace reality and summarise the state of development and popularisation of technology under the roofs of general public. There is no denying that at the moment we are just enthusiasts and collect knowledge and information from the world. However, we do hope that soon we will gather a group of experts around this initiative as well.. Here is what you will find in this episode: - The fact that Google will soon be talking in many languages at the same time. - Statistics by VOICEBOT.AI on the smart speaker market in the USA. - What devices are most popular in the USA and why do we believe that local players in other countries will also appear. - What devices Michal has at home and how he uses them. - We briefly describe the differences between Amazon Echo and Amazon Dot. - The first impressions of using Alexa. - The situations in which Michal’s children use Alexa. - Why is Alexa the perfect music player? - We also mention a solution from 1996 – Dragon Dictate, which allowed text to be entered into the computer by voice. - We also do a LIVE experiment and prove to Michal how Karol uses Google Assistant on a daily basis. - Michał discovers why Karol texts while driving a car (e.g. by sending text messages and entering them into the phone by voice). - We are talking about who in Europe will adapt technologies the fastest and Karol is trying to convince Michal that Poland will be at the forefront of this race. - We are discussing what a smart speaker can really become, as well as whether they will replace the radio? - Why do we think that voice technologies can allow everyone to save time? - What happens when Mark Zuckerberg organises the global internet access? - How intensive migration to cities can influence the development of solutions based on voice?

This is where we start. It’s the first episode of the Voice First Revolution podcast, in which we not only say “hello world” and take the first steps in the podcast reality but also explain why we do it. Bear with us as we start. If you would like to take part in the discussion, please feel invited! Ask questions. If you don’t agree – tell us. We want this podcast and Voice.ICU to be a place of inspiration, knowledge exchange and such a social club for all those who believe in the power of voice in the context of our relationship with machines. If you have friends abroad who do speak Polish, please point them at the Polish version of our podcast as well. We do not guarantee that the episodes are recorded exactly the same, but they certainly contain all the jokes 😉 In this episode we seek and try to provide answers to the following questions: - What is our background? - What exactly is voice first? - Why do we believe that voice will play such an important role in the future? - Why will the communication between man and machine be carried out using Alexa or Google Assistant? - We also talk about practical implementations of voice interfaces – e.g. in cars. - How do we use voice technology on our own in everyday life. - Why do children out of all user groups adapt voice technologies the fastest? - What are we going to talk about in the 99th episode? - Why do we want to meet people in Warsaw who are interested in voice technology?
