Amazon has not yet officially confirmed the deal, Techcrunch relies on the information to internal sources. But that Amazon is interested in a Siri clone, which already showed the acquisition of Ivona software in January of this year, also an expert in speech recognition and a competitor to nuance. Ivona is now integrated into the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet and supports users with voice commands, among other things. True Knowledge had begun with the development of Evi Siri as Apple brought out. The British company has licensed Nuance technology and brought Evi on the way.
The language assistant can understand texts that is capable of learning and elicited loud True Knowledge intentions of the user. Evi counted last year, according to the CHIP readers to the best apps and became a real Siri competitor, but only if one is the American English-powerful. The rivalry with Siri has another reason: Last year, Apple bothered at the suppose dly too similar in function and therefore banned the app from the App Store. Meanwhile, she is there but is available again. True Technology claims but, Evi is much smarter because they can access their own, extensive search engine to what Siri is denied.
Since keeping the buyers covered, one can only speculate what Amazon with a further assumption in this range up to. It is not yet clear whether Evi and Ivona together. According to Techcrunch interpret the step out, however, Amazon could still enter in the smartphone market. That was always a wide area but so far denied. This did not change anything, when the company hired Charlie Kindel, the man who was responsible for the Windows Phone at Microsoft and previously great fit in the Amazon portfolio with his name.
Virtual assistants are increasingly in demand. Siri and Evi have more sisters, including Lola. Lola is to make banking transactions more convenient and help especially in online banking. Was developed using the same virtual scientists at SRI Institute, who also Siri come to life. (sis)Related Topics
