Founder of D2IQ, formerly Mesosphere, Florian “Flo” Leibert previously worked as a software engineer at some of the biggest tech companies in the world, including Twitter and Airbnb. Florian Leibert has extensive experience in many areas of machine learning, including speech recognition technologies.
Recently, speech recognition has been a major focus in the tech industry as the desire for speech-operated systems surges. For instance, the retail industry is investing heavily in speech integration in their stores. In brick and mortar stores, the use of automated assistants that can recognize voice commands is being explored and big e-commerce retailers such as Amazon are already integrating speech recognition into their search functions.
In public transportation, voice assistants can already be used to book or order from Uber. Another application that is being developed is the use of voice commands to navigate public transportation systems with commands such as “where is the nearest bus stop?”
Evidence of evolving uses of speech recognition can be seen in just about every industry. If current trends remain, it is likely that most processes that we are accustomed to doing manually today will have some level of voice integration in the near future.
