    New Amazon Alexa releases of Alexa emotions and Alexa speaking styles. These SSML tags help you express emotion which increases overall satisfaction and increases how natural sounding your experiences are. "Early customer feedback indicates that overall satisfaction with the voice experience increased by 30% when Alexa responded with emotions. ...While conducting ‘blind listening’ tests, the news style was perceived to be 31% more natural than Alexa’s standard voice and the music style was perceived to be 84% more natural."

  • Amazon Quietly Reveals Plan to Put Alexa in Almost Everything
    Internet of Things get smarter with smaller Alexa. Decreased size from offloading work from devices to the cloud in fast, real-time operating systems and constant connectivity for ambient computing. From Amazon: " Today, smart home IoT devices are Built with low cost microcontrollers (MCU) with limited memory to run real time operating systems. Until now, AVS solutions for Alexa Built-in products required expensive application processor-based devices with >50MB memory running on Linux or Android. These expensive hardware requirements made it cost prohibitive to integrate Alexa Voice on resource constrained IoT devices. AVS for AWS IoT enables Alexa Built-in functionality on MCUs like ARM Cortex ‘M’ class with <1MB embedded RAM by offloading memory and compute tasks to a virtual Alexa Built-in device in the cloud, thus reducing eBoM cost by up-to 50%."

    "I think the owners and the people that they trust that work out of here they're doing their best to make it sound really fucking good, you know? You're not going to hear records coming out of here that don't that aren't good you know? Not that we're picking and choosing! We just find ourselves working with qualified artists that are really pushing the boundaries and we want to work equally as hard as them so..." - Jimmy @Oranjudio

  • Why we're having Columbus Voice Bootcamp: Musician Edition

    Featuring Mike & Benny @BaskSessions. 

    "As per any hypothesis or research you kind of want a standard. And the standard is the bootcamp framework. At the end of it we release a white paper. Here's 6 artists. Never in the history of humanity have six artists put themselves on artificial intelligence & voice technology in this format. Here is the results of that! We're hitting on the waves of Instagram, of social media, of Google Assistant, of Amazon Alexa, of Black Friday, of literally all of that to say 'here is what they're doing. Take this white paper as a case study.'"

  • Journalism, media and technology trends and predictions 2019

    Report from Journalism, Media, and Technology Trends and Predictions 2019 by Nic Newman


    More atomised news: News on voice devices currently means a linear bulletin that plays and can’t be easily controlled...Publishers like the BBC prefer to create their own destinations (these are called skills or actions in a voice world) where they can offer more personalised and controllable audio – as well as offering onward journeys to other content. 


    Voice news search gets better: Voice searches for cinema listings or celebrity birthdays work pretty well because the data is both limited in scope and well structured. News search is a much bigger problem and the platforms want publishers to create readable snippets of content that answer current questions. Expect to see platforms pushing publishers to use a new metadata specification called the ‘speakable schema’. Combined with the branded nuggets of atomised news, this will result in a much better voice search experience in 2019 where it will be possible to get answers to questions like ‘what is Brexit?’ and ‘what is the latest on Brexit?’. 


    Multi-modal voice experiences: Watch out for more experiences that mix voice inputs with smartphone outputs – and vice versa. You can already ask about movie showtimes using your Amazon Echo or Google Home, but then the booking is completed via a message sent to your phone. Similarly you may be able to save articles in your favourite news app and then ask your speaker to read them out when you are ready. 


    Voice confusion sets in, some abandonment: The growing number of platforms could slow the take up of these technologies – especially given the subtle differences in how to ask for content – and even what content is available. Given current levels of hype, it also inevitable that some disenchantment will set in. A bit like Chinese bikes for hire, many of these relatively cheap devices will be cast aside, or just left to gather dust. Screen-based speakers in particular will sell poorly with many models discontinued.


    "With many publishers launching new daily news podcasts, it is perhaps not surprising that the majority (75%) think that audio will become a more important part of their content  THE REUTERS INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF JOURNALISM 6 and commercial strategies. A similar proportion (78%) think that emerging voice-activated technologies, like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant will have a significant impact on how audiences access content over the next few years. I’m surprised about the potential of audio and voice for journalism. Users will consume news by speaking and listening, less often by reading — and we have to prepare early on for […] shifts in user expectations. Stefan Ottlitz, Der Spiegel"
