A major battle is taking place between Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft right now.
All four tech giants are fighting to be the first to create the world’s first “perfect” artificially-intelligent voice technology.
While Siri (Apple), Cortana (Microsoft), Google Now, and Echo (Amazon) have already debuted and are accessible to the public, none of them offer a program that is both highly-accurate and truly conversational.
As a result, all four companies are pumping millions of dollars into research and development in order to make its virtual assistants not only the first to answer, but to do so in a manner that provides content and context.
The first product to do so may just be a game-changer and become indispensable to its users.
Do you use any of the above voice technologies? Let us know in the comments and forums.
