Voice command technology has taken major leaps in the last few years. For instance, it would have been unthinkable that you could give verbal commands to your TV or smartphone 10 years ago. However that possibility is here now, and it is set to reinvent the way we interact with technology.
Consumers’ desire for new ways to interact with devices is bringing attention to companies that specialise in digital voice technologies. Personal devices are becoming more “human” with perceptual hardware and software. This new form of interaction allows users to talk to their smartphones, search for directions or find information on the Web, just like how one interacts with another person.

LG Electronics is at the centre of helping to bring this technology to the masses, with the recent launch of its G2 premium smartphone, and is also looking at adding extra functionalities in its future smartphones.
VoiceMate, LG’s voice recognition technology, supports a wide number of the G2’s core features including phone control, search navigation and more. In tandem with the consumer-centric nature of the G2, VoiceMate was developed to emphasise the "human" element of its technology.
Furthermore, text messaging represents another opportunity to expand natural language technology across devices. The LG G2’s Text Link feature allows users to receive intelligent recommendations based on making sense of typed content in a breeze. It’s like having a built-in personal assistant in your phone.
