Bitpanda, GoStudent, TTTech, Tricentis - sind das wirklich alle Unicorns, die wir in Österreich haben? Eine neue Studie sagt: Nein! Und will in Oberösterreich mit Loxone ein geheimes Unternehmen mit Milliardenbewertung im Tech-Bereich entdeckt haben, dass immer noch in der Hand der Gründer ist. Loxone hat sich dabei auf Smart Home fokussiert, kommt ohne Cloud aus und baut sein Geschäft in Europa und den USA sowie seinen Standort in Oberösterreich massiv aus. Im Podcast-Interview spricht Rüdiger Keinberger, CEO von Loxone, über: - die Milliardenbewertung von Loxone - die Geschichte der Gründer Thomas Moser und Martin Öller - die Kerntechnologie des Unternehmens - die Einsatzgebiete der Smart-Home-Anwendungen - Einstieg in Hotellerie-Geschäft - die Produktion der Hardware und der Software - warum man auch Cloud verzichtet - warum man erst spät auf Sprachsteuerung wie Apples Siri setzte - den Ausbau des Standorts in Kollerschlag (OÖ) - die Umsatzziele - Wachstum durch Akquisitionen

Tired of hearing the same Siri voice on Apple products? Soon you'll have choices. 

Apples Siri muss keine Frau mehr sein, die Apple Watch wird tough und rund und „One more thing..." ist gar nicht von Steve Jobs? Und was hat Swatch damit zu tun? Tech-Freaks haben ihre Finger mal wieder ganz dicht am Apple-Puls, wie es scheint. Weitere Themen sind das Aus von Cortana und ein Luke-Skywalker-Look-Alike, das Disney auf gar keinen Fall ignorieren darf!! Nicht zuletzt hat Sven ein Interview mit Dave Ward geführt, dem europäischen Chef von Amazon-Tochter Ring (die mit den smarten Türklingeln und Kameras). Einschalten! Viel Spaß

Heute erzählt uns Tanja von zwei Jungs, die den perfekten Mord begehen wollen und dabei so einige Fehler machen - und in der Short Story schlägt Apples Siri das perfekte Versteck für eine Leiche vor.. Triggerwarnung! heute haben wir mal keine..

The mathematics curriculum of today was created before computers. Conrad Wolfram has written a book, The Math(s) Fix and how AI can be part of this process of learning new math. He says we're "making humans into third rate calculators instead of helping humans be problem solvers." He also argues that math should be approachable for everyone and we spend too much time in schools on the wrong tasks. We even talk about some of the charts and numbers shared during the covid19 health crisis and the need for critical thinking in every area of society. www.coolcatteacher.com/e680 Sponsor: Welcome TGR Foundation and Discovery Education as a sponsor to my podcast.

To af tech-giganterne tilbyder at man kan tale dansk med deres digitale assistenter. Apples Siri, som lærte at forstå og tale dansk i 2015 og Google assistent som kom med på det danske i 2018. I dag handler programmet om taleteknologi og talegenkendelse på dansk. Altså at du taler til en computer og den forstår hvad du siger, og derefter også meget gerne GØR hvad du beder den om. Marie Høst taler med Jens Otto Kjærum fra det danske firma Dictus, som selv siger at de har ‘nok det bedste danske tale-til-tekst program på markedet' og som kan forklare hvordan man griber det an når man skal lære en computer at tale dansk. Og ikke mindst hvorfor han mener at det er vigtigt at vores computere forstår vores eget sprog. Derudover fortæller Mads Voigt Hingelberg, som arbejder for Innovation Lab, om hvad fremtiden kunne byde på indenfor talegenkendelse og brug af stemmen til at interagere med vores maskiner. Og hvad det betyder hvis vi ikke kan gøre det på dansk.Nanna Schmidt Nordestgaard har talt med den sønderjyske sangerinde Rikke Thomsen om hvorfor modermålet er så vigtigt for os i Danmark og hun tester om Siri mon kan forstå sønderjysk.

Innen utgangen av 2020 vil over halvparten av interaksjonene vi har med datamaskinen skje med stemmen, ifølge futuristen Amy Webb. Digitale assistenter puttes inn nesten overalt; i høyttalere, bilen, på sykehjemmet eller jobben, eller når du bruker mobilen. Digitale assistenter har blitt «hot». Enkelt fortalt er en digital assistent et dataprogram som er designet for å hjelpe brukerne til å svare på spørsmål eller utføre oppgaver på vegne av brukeren - ofte styres den ved hjelp av stemmen. Målet er gjøre hverdagen enklere. De mest kjente assistentene er Google Assistant, Microsofts Cortana, Amazons Alexa og Apples Siri. Alle husker sikkert reklamefilmen med Rema 1000 om smarthus og digitale assistenter som på en humoristisk måte hva som går galt når assistenten ikke skjønner hva du sier. Brukeropplevelsen er kanskje ikke den beste nå, men det skjer en hel del spennende ting innenfor dette området. Assistentene blir smartere og mer menneskelige, bruksområdene øker, flere intelligente tjenester kommer til, og flere og flere opplever merverdi. Hva er fremtiden? Hvor smarte blir de? Eller hvor smarte ønsker vi at de skal være? Hva med sikkerheten og personvernet? Lytter assistenten til alt vi sier, og kan de ta over smarthusene våre? Vi tok en prat med Siri Børsum, X-Google og tidligere leder for digital transformasjon i Google Norge, og Karianne Myrvold, kommunikasjons- og markedssjef i Trend Micro Norge. I tillegg kommer det avsløringer om gjestenes digitale liv. Enjoy

The Google assistant is a powerful digital assistant. Most would say better then Apple's Siri. However, google assistant missed the mark on the Google nest or home hub. Listen to my review to find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blindpodcaster/support

Forholdet mellom menneske og smartmobil blir stadig mer intimt, og mobilen er blitt en forlengelse av kroppen. Petter Bae Brantzæg har forsket på hvordan ungdom bruker Instagram og Snapchat, og har de siste årene studert forholdet til chatbots. Siden 2016 er de mest avanserte chatbotene blitt mer og mer menneskelige, takket være viktige gjennombrudd i kunstig intelligens. En dag blir det kanskje umulig å høre forskjell på Apples Siri og Siri i nabohuset.

I det senaste avsnittet av AI-podden får vi lära oss mer om hur forskare börjat använda världens mest sålda datorspel Minecraft för att träna och testa olika typer av AI-system. Det som gör Minecraft användbart för AI-forskning är att trots den oändliga variationen som är inbyggt i spelet, innehåller plattformen även regler som är enkla och förutsägbara inom vissa gränser. Perfekt för forskning med andra ord. Nyligen har även grundarna av jättarna Alibaba och Tesla, Jack Ma och Elon Musk, mötts i ett samtal om AI och framtiden. De både företagsledarna kom mest överens om att man inte var överens kring huruvida AI innebär guld och gröna skogar eller om domedagen hägrar. Oavsett ståndpunkt finns det redan idag produkter som skapar värde för människor tack vare AI. Smarta assistenter i hemmet likt Amazon Alexa och Apples Siri tilltalar alla, inte minst äldre människor som enligt en ny rapport inte känner sig lika ensamma i hemmet. Kanske just därför har röstassistenter blivit mycket populära hos i USA i åldersgruppen 65 år och uppåt. Idéen om att äldre människor undviker att använda ny teknik är kanske bara en myt? Det och fler nyheter inom AI får dig till livs i det senaste avsnittet av AI-Podden med Ather Gattami och Anna Ringborg. Väl bekomme!

Something of a sleepy week in British politics, a time in which nothing happened of any real significance. This episode features (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and Alice (@AliceAvizandum) discussing these banal developments with London-based journalist (and host of Red Hacks podcast) Joana Ramiro (@joanaramirouk). Parliament didn’t get prorogued, the government didn’t suffer landmark defeats, and Low Tax Chloe didn’t make some of the worst memes in human history. We also also talk about the weird incel logic behind Apple's Siri. It’s a great, normal time to be a resident of this island, folks!

Susan Bennett is an American voice-over artist. She is best known for being the female American voice of Apple's "Siri" since the service was introduced on the iPhone 4S. Susan and I connected a few months back and I was delighted when she agreed to be a guest on the show to talk about her career, overcoming fears, ‘coming out’ as Siri, the great fortune that has ultimately brought and how life has changed since. Susan shares her story and provides lots of bits of advice from lessons learned over the last few decades from her successful acting, voiceover, and musical career. Here’s a more detailed summary of the talk: •One thing learned in the last week? •An Earliest Memory – naturally drawn to certain things that would indicate what you’re going to do in adulthood •Early gifts as a child indicating work later in life •Getting a free grand piano as a gift & telephone •Creativity and Introverted from an early age •Not having the ‘Ta-da’ gene •A line of demarcation in childhood •Parents moving around a bit – this led to introversion * instead of coming out* •The power of social media to help for introverts to communicate •Starting a voice career by a happy accident •Having no accident •Getting a voice coach to develop the skills •Learning the skill of a voice over actor •Time required to practice as a voice actor •Having a natural feel for the voice over acting •The role of luck in her career•Working hard and getting luckier •Being curious and trying out new things •Learning as a value •Losing the process of learning new things •Taking 2 years to revel herself as the voice – wanting the privacy •A great life lesson – you have to take some risks •How Susan was chosen as the first voice of Siri •Working for Nuisance IVR Scripts in 2005 – recording these that then became the voice of Siri •Concatenation and creating the voice of Siri •Linguistic vocal coaching •6 years later in 2011 finding out that Susan was the voice of Siri•Taking a few years to accept and spin it to her advantage •Face the fears and then so many wonderful things started to happen •The unexpected happens and you need to make decisions, and this brings change •Staying open minded and being able to adapt •Decision Making – Automatic answer is no? do a rethink! •Trying to get to yes! •Getting to know yourself and find out why you are the way you are! •How Susan worked on herself better?•Overthinking and Introverts•A typical day / week now for Susan •Setting goals – customize every presentation•Talk to the universe and do positive repetitions•Advice to live by? oTake some risks!

When it comes to smart speakers, most people think of Google Home or Amazon Echo. People forget Apple's Siri was one of the first voice platforms to hit the market but not through a speaker but your smartphone. Today, Apple is selling their own smart speaker called Apple HomePod. In this episode, GearBrain will talk about all the things you can do with a HomePod and compare it to the other smart speakers on the market. We will also discuss how Apple's Siri voice platform stacks up to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Microsoft's Cortana voice platforms. You can visit www.gearbrain.com for more information on Apple HomePod, other smart speakers and information on how these new devices can change your life.

Are you thinking of getting a smart speaker assistant but not sure if Amazon Echo or Google Home is the one for you? Do you want to know the difference between Google Home Mini and Amazon Echo Dot? What's a smart speaker display? And is there a difference between Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana? If yes to any of these questions, you need to listen to this podcast. GearBrain will help you learn everything you need to know about these new smart devices and help you decide on which is the right one for your home or office. We will talk about how these new voice platforms are also being embedded into non-smart devices, like a refrigerator or smoke detector, to make them smart. You will learn how easy it is to setup and connect these smart speakers to your current connected devices. You can also visit www.gearbrain.com to learn more about smart speakers as well as other connected devices for your home, car, office and self (i.e. wearables). Our mission is to help simplify IoT for consumers and provide information on the connectivity and compatibility of all these new connected devices.

Sven Schirmer und Martin Eisenlauer diskutieren über die wichtigsten Sprachassistenten. Die Technik-Freaks packen dabei Amazons Alexa, Apples Siri und Googles Assistant auf den Prüfstand. Wer kann was am besten? Zum Schluss blicken die beiden auf die Technik-Highlights und wichtigsten Ereignisse 2018 zurück.

Thema heute:    Fast jeder fünfte Deutsche unter 35 Jahren kann sich den Abschluss einer Versicherung über digitale Sprachassistenten wie Alexa oder Siri vorstellen "Alexa, versichere mich!": Bereits 18 Prozent der jüngeren Deutschen können sich vorstellen, eine Versicherung über einen digitalen Sprachassistenten wie Amazons Alexa oder Apples Siri abzuschließen. Selbst in der Gesamtbevölkerung ist mehr als jeder Zehnte dazu bereit. Das sind Ergebnisse der Studie "Digitale Versicherung 2018", für die im Auftrag des Softwareherstellers Adcubum mehr als 1.000 Bundesbürger bevölkerungsrepräsentativ befragt wurden.   Schließen wir unsere Versicherungen bald komplett über digitale Sprachassistenten wie Alexa oder Siri ab? Obwohl das in Deutschland noch Zukunftsmusik ist, sind viele Bundesbürger dafür schon erstaunlich offen. Am aufgeschlossensten zeigen sich jüngere Bundesbürger zwischen 18 und 34 Jahren: 18 Prozent von ihnen können sich den Abschluss über einen solchen Assistenten vorstellen. Auch in der Gesamtbevölkerung sind dazu schon 12 Prozent bereit. "Wenn man bedenkt, dass Alexa die Bühne in Deutschland erst vor knapp zwei Jahren betreten hat, zeigen die Zahlen unserer Studie klar, wohin die Reise geht", ordnet man beim Softwarehersteller die Ergebnisse ein. Dass die Bereitschaft in den nächsten Jahren noch deutlich zunehmen dürfte, zeigt eine andere Zahl: Neben den erwähnten 12 Prozent, die sich in der Gesamtbevölkerung einen Abschluss über Sprachassistenten bereits jetzt vorstellen können, bekunden weitere 24 Prozent, dass sie solche Assistenten "eher gut" finden, im Moment aber für sie noch kein Versicherungsabschluss darüber infrage kommt. "Bislang ist großen Teilen der Bevölkerung nicht bewusst, was diese Assistenten überhaupt leisten können. Je mehr sie auch in anderen Lebensbereichen Routinetätigkeiten und neue Aufgaben übernehmen, desto eher wird man ihnen den Abschluss einer Versicherung zutrauen", sagt man bei Adcubum. Alexa und Co. könnten künftig für den Kunden jedoch nicht nur "auf Zuruf" tätig sein, sondern auch eigenständig Aktionen anbieten. Erkennt der Assistent etwa über Suchanfragen und Chats, dass der Nutzer sich ein Auto anschaffen will, kann er ihm gleich den passenden Versicherungsschutz dafür vorschlagen. "Durch die Integration ins Wohnumfeld sind Alexa und Siri für Versicherer sehr wertvoll. Kein anderes System ist derart eng in das Umfeld der Menschen eingebettet", so das Unternehmen. Langfristig ist sogar denkbar, dass die Assistenten eine Art Prokura erhalten. Sie können für den Kunden dann selbstständig neue Versicherungen abschließen oder bestehende Versicherungen erweitern. Ein Beispiel ist etwa die Hausratversicherung. Kauft der Kunde sich ein smartes Haushaltsgerät, könnte Alexa sich automatisch um den Versicherungsschutz kümmern.   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

I sidste uge lancerede Google deres digitale assistent her i Danmark. Den er indbygget i smartphones, hvor den hjælper dig med at indstille alarmer, lave opkald, skrive indkøbssedlen eller få oplæst dagens nyheder. Men de danske versioner af både Google Assistant og Apples Siri kan kun en brøkdel af, hvad de engelske kan. Digitalt undersøger, om vi skal vænne os til at tale engelsk med vores smartphone, hvis vi vil gøre rigtig brug af de digitale assistenters fordele, og om det danske talesprog er truet. Og så kigger vi ud i fremtiden for at få en idé om, hvordan sprogteknologi kan ændre vores dagligdag, når omgivelserne bliver rigtig smarte. Værter: Chris Lehmann og Esben Hardenberg.

Amazon's voice-enabled Alexa can now tell you who's playing at a local concert venue, what time the show starts and when your favorite artist is coming to town. The same data is hard to find with competitors Google Home and Apple's Siri. Jefferson Graham demonstrates on Talking Tech.

This week, we invite you to meet Major General (Ret) Earl D. Matthews: He spent three decades at the nexus of big budgets and cybersecurity, including stints as Director, Cyberspace Operations and Chief Information Security Officer at HQ, U.S. Air Force, and VP for Enterprise Security Solutions at Hewlett-Packard. In his current role as Senior VP and Chief Strategy Officer at Verodin, Inc., he champions the concept of security instrumentation, a process that continuously validates the effectiveness of each security element in place. During this episode, he'll cover a gamut of cybersecurity issues that include the privacy issues at Facebook, the DNC hack, along with managing your personal privacy at a time when tens of millions of Americans have had their credit reports hacked. Major General Matthews will also reveal two episodes of ID theft that impacted his own family. You'll also hear from tech columnist and former industry analyst Joe Wilcox, who writes for BetaNews. During this episode, Joe will explain why he regards Apple's Siri voice assistant as worse than Microsoft's Skype, despite all the connection glitches with the latter. Will hiring former Google executives help Apple make Siri more responsive and accurate, without sacrificing your security? You'll also hear about Google I/O and Android P, and about all those fake news reports that the iPhone X was unsuccessful. For two quarters straight, however, Apple reported that the iPhone X was not only its best selling smartphone for each week it was on sale, but the hottest selling smartphone on the planet. Gene shares his 20 years experience with the iMac, which began with the original Bondi Blue model that he beta tested for Apple as part of the former Customer Quality Feedback (CQF) program. You'll also hear about the Apple Watch and whether it makes sense for Apple to switch Macs from Intel to ARM CPUs.

This weekend our guests focus mainly on Apple's 2018 Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) and its June 4th keynote featuring CEO Tim Cook and several members of his executive team. During that event, the wraps were taken off iOS 12, macOS 10.14 Mojave, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5; all will be released this fall. We talk about the splashy new features, and the ones that aren't so flashy but might impact the user experience. Among the topics discussed are the planned improvements to Apple's Siri digital assistant, which includes Siri Shortcuts, an easy automation feature reminiscent of AppleScript, and the planned performance improvements of at least 50% to older hardware that runs iOS 12. With macOS 10.14, the new Dark Mode will be profiled, along with announced Finder improvements that'll make it easier to manage cluttered desktops on your Mac. There will also be discussions about what's forthcoming in tvOS 12, and whether any of it is compelling, and what about the walkie-talkie feature planed for watchOS 5, which will impact Apple Watch this fall? Our special guests include outspoken podcaster and columnist Kirk McElhearn, who also details his concerns about Skype, and a problem he encountered due to a severe lack of security protections. During the second half of the show, we feature commentator Jeff Gamet, Managing Editor for The Mac Observer, who will also talk about the experience of watching his bed-in-a-box expand to several times its size after removing it from the box and separating the plastic wrappings. Jeff will also focus some on pop culture, and the latest security problems with Facebook.

An all-star duo (Pete Erickson of Modev / Voice Summit; Amy Stapleton of Tellables / VoiceFirstFiction.com) discuss the latest in voice technology news, including Google's new investment program for companies developing for Google Assistant, new reporting on primary use cases for smart speakers, Apple's Siri caught in another gaffe, a Slate article about dating men who yell at Alexa, and the debut of a new type of Pac-Man on Amazon's Alexa platform. This Week In Voice is hosted by Bradley Metrock (CEO, Score Publishing) and is part of the VoiceFirst.FM podcast network.

The guys talk about the 6th generation iPad, Apple's Siri team gets a big upgrade, progressive web apps arrive on iOS 11, Facebook is in trouble, and ... music videos!! All this and more!

On this week's episode, we feature outspoken podcaster and columnist Kirk McElhearn, who focuses heavily on his experiences with Apple's HomePod. He explains the problems he's found with the product, particularly a bassy response, and problems with Apple's Siri voice assistant. Will future software updates allow you to adjust the frequency profile of a HomePod, other than with iTunes? What about improving Siri's recognition accuracy? What about eliminating the problem where it leaves white rings on wood surfaces that are tied or waxed? Kirk also covers possible future Macs, such as a new Mac Pro and whether there will be an upgrade to the Mac mini, which hasn't been updated since 2014? Gene continues his suggestion that HP's Z2 Mini Workstation is a potential future direction with the Mac mini, offering powerful performance at a relatively low cost. You'll also hear from commentator Bryan Chaffin, co-founder and co-publisher of The Mac Observer, He also talks about the HomePad, and his perception of its sonic quality and future prospects. What about the still-delayed AirPlay 2 feature that was first promised to Apple users in iOS 11 last year? What about the curious disconnect between unproven claims that iPhone X sales collapsed last year, compared to Apple's own financials that indicated high sales and revenue for iPhones, and reports that the iPhone X was the highest selling model  on the planet during the weeks it was on sale? How do such false stories get started and why do they continue even after Apple reviewed the truth? There's also talk about the unexpected success of the Apple Watch which, in 2017, became the number one best selling wearable on the planet. This comes after the Apple Watch was regarded as a tepid performer in the marketplace for so long.

This week's Tech.pinions podcast features Carolina Milanesi and Bob O'Donnell analyzing recent developments around digital assistants such as Apple's Siri, discussing AMD chip flaws, chatting about the upcoming Apple Education event, and talking about Fitbit's new smartwatch.

Gene Munster asked Apple's Siri 800 questions recently, and reports back on how many she got right on Talking Tech.

Woo hoo! for the first time in two years, Fox 5 anchor Annie Yu joins the gang! And as always, she is great fun: she sings, raps, dances, talks about her parents and her cute 5-year-old daughter's odd relationship with Apple's Siri! Plus, Annie and Tony talk about what it's like teaming up on Saturday mornings for "Fox News Morning".   Also: Gary, Annie and Rob take the "American Coke vs. Mexican Coke" taste test! And: Another "wood" update (!); a special "Happy Birthday" announcement: and new music from U2! Rock on!

To the extent smart speaker owners run voice queries through their speakers vs. phones it benefits the two smart speaker leaders - Amazon and Google vs. Apple. Apple's Siri lags Amazon's AI and Google's AI in terms of speed and accuracy. This dynamic will only increase the performance delta between the two market leaders and Apple. AI's need "reps" to improve. Less share means less reps, fewer learning opportunities.

Apple's AI - Siri - is deeply inferior to Google's AI. Both Google and Amazon have an advantage over Apple in terms of search query capture which means the quality of the output for Google and Amazon will be superior for the foreseeable future.

Google's Assistant is now on the iPhone, where it greatly outshines Apple's Siri. Listen in as Jefferson Graham demonstrates.

This week:  Apple’s secret Siri speaker may be announced at WWDC—we’ll tell you everything (we think) we know about it.   Why AirPods are the best product Apple’s made in years Why Microsoft’s MacBook clone is actually great for Apple fans We deconstruct and decode Tim Cook’s mysterious and quickly deleted accidental tweet, and you’ll be shocked at the truth!   This episode supported by   Build a beautiful, responsive website quick at Squarespace.com.  Enter offer code CultCast at checkout to get 10% off. Squarespace—Build it Beautiful.   CultCloth will keep your iPhone 7, Apple Watch, Mac and iPad sparkling clean, and for a limited time you can use code CULTCAST to score a free CleanCloth with any order at CultCloth.co.   We also want to give Kevin MacLeod at incompetech.com a  thanks for the great music you hear on today's show.   On the show this week @erfon / @bst3r / @lkahney   This week’s Intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOwN5kpgWGc   Apple’s new Siri speaker could be revealed at WWDC http://www.cultofmac.com/478847/apples-new-siri-speaker-revealed-wwdc/ Earlier this week, we heard the company is currently in the process of finalizing the design of its first standalone Siri device, which is expected to take on the Amazon Echo. Now we have an idea what it might look like and when it could be revealed. Apple's Siri-based smart speaker and home hub has an "over 50 percent chance" of being announced at WWDC, according to our homeboy Ming Chi Kuo. Kuo said Apple's smart home product will likely launch in the second half of 2017 and cost more than the Amazon Echo, $179. The device will supposedly support AirPlay with "excellent acoustics performance" from one woofer and seven tweeters. Kuo said its performance will be similar to the iPhone 6/6s. Last week, leaker Sonny Dickson likewise said Apple's smart speaker could be announced as early as WWDC. He said the device will run a variation of iOS with unspecified Beats technology, in addition to a Mac Pro-like concave top with built-in controls and speaker meshing covering the majority of its surface. A report from The Information said Apple's smart home speaker would be able to control appliances, locks, lights, and curtains through Siri voice commands. It added that some of the prototypes in testing have facial recognition sensors   Apple places orders for its Amazon Echo rival http://www.cultofmac.com/479523/apple-places-orders-amazon-echo-rival/ Digitimes is reporting that Inventec, the Taiwan company that makes Apple’s popular AirPods, received Apple’s order for the the Siri Smart speaker,   Siri could soon recognize your voice for added security http://www.cultofmac.com/475095/siri-could-soon-recognize-your-voice-for-added-security/ Apple is busy working on innovative tech like the ability for Siri to recognize individual users’ voices, according to a recently-published patent application from Apple.   AirPods get highest-ever satisfaction score for a first-year Apple product http://www.cultofmac.com/479201/airpods-customer-satisfaction/ AirPods are the most beloved product Apple has launched in years, based on a new survey that found an astonishing percentage of AirPod owners are extremely satisfied. In a newly published study conducted by Creative Strategies and Experian, a total of 98 percent of AirPod owners said they are either “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with Apple’s new wireless buds. Over 80 percent of customers said they are very satisfied.   Microsoft’s answer to the MacBook suffers one big flaw http://www.cultofmac.com/479397/microsofts-answer-macbook-one-big-flaw/ Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop, with its sleek design and a super-sharp display, might look like a worthy competitor to the MacBook Starting at $999, the Surface Laptop ships with an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a battery that lasts up to 14.5 hours in between charges. Windows 10 S only runs apps downloaded from the Windows Store!  But uou can upgrade to Windows Pro for $50.   Twitter flips out over mysterious Tim Cook tweet http://www.cultofmac.com/479663/tim-cook-deletes-mystery-tweet/ Apple CEO Tim Cook set Twitter ablaze with speculation today — and all it took was a simple smiley face emoji. Cook sent out a tweet with just a smiley face emoji this morning. No other context was provided, and the tweet got deleted shortly later, leading Apple fans on Twitter to wonder what the most powerful man in tech was really trying to say.

This session we talk about the ever growing personal assistants trend.  There are many out on the market but the 3 major companies that stand out are Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and Google assistant.  Sadly I have to throw in Microsoft Cortana too. With our hands on these 3 items, we give our 4 cents to the discussion of what we see as the leading candidate with this growing voice activating trend.

Last year, shortly after visiting New Zealand, Taiwanese political activist and civic hacker Audrey Tang was appointed as a Cabinet Minister with special responsibility for solving communication quandries within and outside government - making her the first transgender person appointed to Taiwan's executive. Audrey's background includes helping design Apple's Siri technology's voice recognition abilities, and creating social media that helps organisations learn about how employee's work flow and institutional knowledge. Audrey was closely involved with Taiwan's Occupy movement, and was a key player in helping democratise decision-making after the unpopularity of the previous government. Taiwan is a young democracy going through rapid changes - many of them facilitated by an attitude of 'open government' - that would've have seemed impossible a short time ago. After her rapturously received talk at the tech focused Open Source//Open Society conference Audrey spoke to The Weekend producer Shaun D Wilson.

Talking to computers has long been a staple of science fiction, but today it's a reality, says Bill Meisel, a technology analyst and author of the recent book, The Software Society. The importance of this trend is exemplified by battles between large technology companies such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung that see it as a fundamental shift in the way we deal with digital systems. Today, the battle is largely over smartphones, with Apple's Siri and Google's voice search being the best-known examples of how far the technology has come. But the trend is moving to tablet computers and the new SmartTVs, as well as increasing used inside companies and by professionals for efficiency. The key, Meisel says, is technology that understands the content of the speech--"natural language understanding"--when the communication with a device is by voice or typing. Increasingly, the user manual for most digital systems will be "just say or type what you want," and your digital "personal assistant" will try to give you the result you want as directly as possible, with minimal navigation. When your request is unclear, the assistant will engage you in a dialog for clarification. It will even be proactive, telling you of an incoming message or upcoming appointment without being asked. Those capabilities exist today in a limited form, but will continue to get better.
