Here’s the second part of my interview with technologist and teacher, Chip Edwards. In it, we discussed the shift made when moving from a visual interface to voice technology and how that affects a brand’s capability to connect with its audience as well as the user experience.
We also talked about:
- What an invocation name is and how it parallels a domain name
- How Chip is helping blind individuals get their blogs out on voice devices
- How spelling doesn’t matter with an invocation name, but rather the sounds in that name
- The crossover between voice technology and the internet of things (IOT)
- How cameras in our refrigerators can tell us when we’re low on milk and even order it for us
- Privacy concerns with advertising and marketing
- How giving up some of our privacy allows us to experience many conveniences that we wouldn’t be able to otherwise
- How Google is benefiting from providing us with “free” Gmail service
- Siri, KFC, and other voice imprints
- How we’re able to add emotion and other levels of humanness to voice conversion technology
- How individuals who are unable to speak are utilizing text to speech technology to communicate
