Study finds consumers increasingly relying on voice-recognition systems
A recent study shows that eight out of nine owners of cars with voice recognition technology regularly use the system.
Nuance Communications Inc., which provides the speech recognition system for Ford’s revolutionary SYNC, announced findings that show consumers will take advantage of automobile voice recognition capabilities if they’re built in. In fact, eight out of nine respondents who own speech-enabled in-car systems and navigation devices regularly use the voice recognition capabilities. The Automotive Voice Interface User Survey conducted by Maix Research and Consulting also revealed a high degree of satisfaction among 73 percent of users that will lead them to recommend the technology to friends and family, as well as plan to repurchase automobiles with speech-enabled functions in the future.
