Voice Assistant
A voice assistant is a digital assistant that uses voice recognition, language processing algorithms, and voice synthesis to listen to specific voice commands and return relevant information or perform specific functions as requested by the user.
Based on specific commands, sometimes called intents, spoken by the user, voice assistants can return relevant information by listening for particular keywords and filtering out the ambient noise.
While voice assistants can be completely software-based and integrate into most devices, some assistants are designed specifically for single device applications, such as the Amazon Alexa Wall Clock.
Today, voice assistants are integrated into many of the devices we use on a daily basis, such as cell phones, computers, and smart speakers. Because of their wide array of integrations, There are several voice assistants who offer a very specific feature set, while some choose to be open ended to help with almost any situation at hand.
