According to a recent study, 62% of organizations are using voice technology in order to increase their revenue. This technology allows customers to interact with businesses through voice commands, which can improve the customer experience and increase sales.

According to a new report, 77% of companies are using voice technology to identify new business opportunities, and 62% are using it to increase revenues.
This year's report examines how companies of all sizes leveraged voice technologies to drive efficiencies and productivity. As businesses increasingly recognize the inherent value of voice and the data it holds, the companies set out to expand the report's focus beyond just ASR to the entire speech technology industry to unearth the motivations for using voice technology within businesses.

A big change from last year’s report is that voice technology has moved from a cost-saving technology focused primarily on uses like compliance to a revenue generating tool that can open new business opportunities. The report found that 77% of companies are using voice technology to identify new business opportunities, and 62% are using it to increase revenues. To fuel this innovation, 75% of respondents plan to increase their speech technology budget in 2022. 92% believe this will drive widespread use of voice technology within five years.
Interestingly, 24% of respondents from companies with fewer than 500 employees believe adoption could take longer, between five and ten years. This surprised us and may be attributed to the fact that larger organizations recognize the immediate impact that voice technology can have on their business through automating processes such as agent enablement or customer experience with conversational AI, whereas smaller companies that are automating other use cases have less confidence in near term market adoption.
The report also confirmed that customer loyalty continues to be top of mind for companies in 2022. But this is more challenging to secure than ever, especially with unstructured data like audio, images and video making up 90% of all available intel. As such, 73% of respondents noted customer experience analysis as the most impactful use of speech technology.
Now is the time for enterprises to invest in and prioritize voice technology with opportunities increasing and a widespread voice-enabled future on the horizon.
Deepgram and Opus surveyed 400 decision-makers to uncover the key motivators for speech technology use.

Disney has appointed an exec to run its metaverse and his first job is to figure out what the hell it is.

According to Reuters, Mike White, an 11-year veteran at Disney who previously worked at Yahoo, has been named the head of the company’s metaverse strategy. The appointment, which was announced through an internal email on Tuesday, suggests Disney is taking this whole metaverse thing very seriously, even if no one can quite agree on a definition of what the metaverse even is yet. "For nearly 100 years, our company has been a pioneer in the entertainment industry, using technology to bring stories to life in new and innovative ways," Disney CEO Bob Chapek said in an email to Disney employees on Tuesday, according to Reuters. "Today, we have an opportunity to connect those universes and create an entirely new paradigm for how audiences experience and engage with our stories," Chapek continued. Disney first announced in November it had plans to make a splash in the virtual world, following on the heels of Facebook’s announcement that it would be changing the nam...

In Luge and Skeleton, the goal is to go fast. Just not too fast.

Technology and safety are clashing in sliding sports, where sleds made for speed are finding tracks built to slow them down. Yanqing, China - U.S.A. Luge has partnered with Ferrari to use their mechanical and aeronautical engineering professors to improve their sleds. Italy's bobsled and skeleton teams have been working with Ferrari for a long time, and new Chinese bobsleds are incorporating rocket technology into their designs. The expanding incorporation of technology into sliding sports is happening with one overarching goal: making sleds faster. Virtually every country with aspirations of winning Olympic medals at this month’s Beijing Olympics in bobsled, skeleton and luge is now aligned with a racecar designer, aeronautics expert or rocket scientist. This is being done in an effort to make sleds go faster and hopefully win more medals. They will chase those medals at China’s Yanqing National Sliding Center, where the track’s 16 winding curves are designed to resemble a...

The Silverstone-based outfit last week announced that they have partnered with Saudi energy giant Aramco. BWT's tie-up with Alpine had been expected for some time. Aston Martin...
