What was a recurring theme in science fiction is already a possibility today: being able to communicate by voice with multiple devices, including laptops and desktops. The popular Siri among users of Apple has opened the way to more applications that will be coming this year.


2013 Will be regarded as the year where this type of software for voice recognition will extend further. We already have the Siri on iPhone, iPad and Mac OS X that recognizes voice commands and dictation by the side of Apple. Apple will be to refine this system to your high definition television, where change channel by using verbal commandsis possible.

Another beginning to hone this technology will be Google, which plans to the submission of applications of this type that will be available for Android. Google applications are in very advanced stages of being released, along with the purpose of the Internet giant to offer speech recognition in future versions of the Chrome browser.

Another that is behind increasingly refine speech recognition is Nuance, who have submitted the Wintermute at last CES in Las Vegas. This system may not only to achieve that we talk about and give indications to each component of the House, but all will interact among themselves to carry out such orders, as shown in the following video.

Finally, new voice recognition systems will be able to differentiate several voices within the same room, make transcripts, recognize totally different voices of others and avoid mistakes or in a single comma, which is not yet possible. We already have some of these applications deployed in vehicles, but not missing too so that they reach all computers.
