Overview
Traditionally, the channel of digitalisation has encompassed conventional text-based communication. However, the advent of newly emerging voice-based interactions as a medium of expression in the digital sphere is fast gaining traction. Adoption of voice & speech recognition technologies has gained mainstream appeal given its contact-less nature, ease & convenience.
In the Indian context, 43% of the Indian population currently uses the Internet, with ease of usability & language barriers impeding adoption. In this regard, Voice holds much promise in bridging this digital divide. Emerging voice-recognition technologies are at the forefront in assisting enterprises promote digital diversity & digitally empower tomorrow’s users.
The inaugural Voice for Bharat 2022 will comprise 2 parallel tracks:
➡️ Track I: e-xperience reimagined
Offering a more individualised experience, voice recognition technologies support enterprises in curating customised marketing strategies for a diverse user base. Customer experience is slated to trump both social media presence & general marketing and an estimated 3 out of every 4 Indian Internet users prefer local language communication over english. This session looks at how voice & audio reconceive the user experience promoting digital diversity & digitally empowering tomorrow’s user.
➡️ Track II: Voice tomorrow
In the Indian context, large-scale smartphone adoption in an already large video-first Internet market holds much promise for converting India into a consumer of voice technologies. Advancements in AI, ML, IoT, NLP, are ushering in an era of sharp growth, with the ongoing pandemic reshaping industry dynamics & further spiking demand for smart consumer appliances globally.
