SoundHound's advanced voice AI technology integration into
VIZIO's voice-enabled remote and mobile apps allows viewers to
speak naturally to search for TV shows and movies, change TV
settings, switch picture modes, launch apps, check the weather, and
more.
With its library of hundreds of content domains, SoundHound’s
Voice AI platform opens the door to significant voice commerce
opportunities. Together, SoundHound and VIZIO continue to innovate
with a focus on the consumer experience and voice-enabled
interactive opportunities for viewers.
“At VIZIO, we always strive to deliver the best-in-class
television experience to our users. With SoundHound’s technology
integrated into VIZIO TVs, we are able to make the ease of voice
interactions part of the TV experience,” said David Rudnick, Senior
Vice President of Product Engineering at VIZIO. “Our goal is to
always improve the user experience and help consumers find the
content they are looking for with simple voice commands. Overall,
remotes have never made finding content an easy task, but with
voice, users can quickly find the content they want with the
complex search technology happening in the background.”
The conversational interface allows users to ask questions such
as:
- "Show me trending TV shows"
- "Launch Netflix"
- "Show me animated family movies"
- "Turn down the volume"
- "Show me movies on WatchFree+"
“VIZIO has always been at the forefront of providing
cutting-edge technology and experiences to its users, so it was
natural and seamless to integrate SoundHound’s voice AI technology
with their product,” said James Hom, Co-Founder and VP of Products,
SoundHound Inc. “As voice AI becomes more ubiquitous and a commonly
used interface for consumers, we believe there is a big opportunity
to extend voice AI into interactive and commerce
opportunities.”
