Who Uses Voice Recognition Technologies and Are They Satisfied?

IoT research firm Parks Associates released findings in which it says 46 percent of U.S. Millennials with smartphones use voice recognition software, including Apple’s Siri, Google Now or Microsoft’s Cortana. That aligns in an interesting way with research also put out recently by TiVo that showed 43 percent Millennials surveyed were using voice commands with some form of device every day. Only about 8 percent of Boomers do the same, the TiVo survey concluded.

“Over 70 percent of voice recognition users are satisfied with the experience of using this solution on their smartphones, which is driving experimentation with this functionality on other platforms, including home assistants like the Amazon Echo, Tap and Dot,” Stuart Sikes, president at Parks Associates, says. “As more devices integrate voice-based options or partner with firms like Amazon, they expand the possibility for a seamless multiplatform connected home that can integrate security, wearables and entertainment devices.

Voice recognition technology discussions are promised as part of the agenda at the Parks’ Connections Europe conference that’s slated for Nov. 2-3 in Amsterdam, as are a variety of other smart home and connected CE devices topics.
