Poll: Do You Use a Voice Assistant? Voice assistants have taken on a meteoric rise since Apple introduced Siri in 2011 and Amazon released its Alexa-enabled Echo in 2013. All five of the major technology companies now have a voice assistant of some description, and while they differ slightly, all have the same basic function: the user can ask or tell the speaker to do something, and it'll do it. Common options are to play music, set an alarm or timer or answer a question about a celebrity or some other piece of information. The various assistants can also integrate with the multitude of "smart home" products, including lights, thermostats and TVs, giving the user the chance to control many functions of their household via voice. Maybe one day, we will be able to ask our voice assistants to make us a coffee or tidy the house! Until then, we want to know which voice assistant you use, if any. Vote in our poll here: Who's Your Friend?  Over 50 million smart speakers are expected to ship worlwide in 2018. — Phil Oakley, Site Editor, TechX365 |
