乘着移动互联网和云计算的"东风",语音技术在消费应用市场的商业想象正被引爆。一则荣威车主"调戏"iVoka的视频在网上流传甚广——iVoka是荣威350上装配的语音云驾驶系统——当车主对着iVoka说"我爱你"的时候,iVoka不无醋意地表示"这句话你也对Siri说过吧",车主只好无奈认栽。
A video clip of a Roewe owner 'teasing' iVoka, the voice cloud driving system installed on the automobile, has been wide spread on the Internet. When the owner said 'I love you' to iVoka, it replied 'You must have said that to Siri, right?' as if it was jealous. Except entertainment functions, iVoka can play music, query weather report, stock market, flights and real-time news. This amazing voice technology is provided by a company named USTC iFLYTEK Co., Ltd (iFLYTEK). On March 22, 2012, at the press conference of iFLYTEK's 'new generation of voice cloud platform', Liu Qingfeng, CEO of the company, took out a smart phone to demonstrate the company's new application 'ViaFly'. He ordered the phone to send messages, arrange schedule, and search restaurants via talking. Since Apple's Siri has brought consumer applications of voice technology into reality, various industries are seeking their point cuts to this hot field. Voice technology providers like iFLYTEK are working hard to find a wider platform via cooperation with developers on more consumer applications.
