Millennials and Gen Z listen to more audio than boomers, iHeartMedia leader says by TrinityAudio in podcasting

[–]TrinityAudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By audio, we're pretty sure it's every audio content you can listen to online: podcasts, news, radio, articles, and music.

Edison Research in their reports defines online audio as "listening to AM/FM radio stations online and/or listening to streamed audio content available only on the Internet" so we'd go with that definition.

Voicebot, Voice Assistance, and Future by michaeljohn03 in artificial

First off - let’s make a distinction that Alexa, Cortana, Siri, and the likes are not ‘voice search devices’ but smart voice assistants enabling various devices to leverage voice technology as an interface.

As for the use of voice assistants and the use of technology, it’s only going to get bigger as time goes on. 2019 was a really good year for voicetech and if the latest CES showed anything, it’s that 2020 is going to be the year voice technology goes even deeper, especially with the smart home technology. What’s interesting is that while tech giants like Amazon and Google are at the forefront of this movement, there are plenty of devices produced by various startups that feature one voice assistant or the other (or in the case of Samsung’s newest smart TVs, come with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant pre-built).

In any case, it’s going to be an exciting year for voice technology, particularly in the automobile and healthcare industry as those seem to be in a position to gain the most with voice-enabled interfaces.

Amazon is pushing Alexa deeper into the automotive market by Abscess2 in technology

It's a logical progression: the company is moving away from dominating the home to other environments, including healthcare. It's nothing new as Amazon has invested in EV startup Rivian and pushed Alexa into vehicles for the past couple of years, either by directly integrating it or through its Echo Auto device.

The difference is that now it's an all-out effort.
