SoundHound Stock: An AI Voice Assistant for Everything

Let’s talk about AI voice assistants. So far, Siri, Alexa, and company represent decades of development of conversational intelligence technologies, particularly in what’s called natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU). Yet it’s all still extremely crude, and the algorithms remain a poor substitute for human grey matter. In fact, giving them the name of “assistant” is probably a bit generous. The reality is that these interactive voice systems still struggle with simple queries – and also tell pretty awful jokes. When they do understand a command or question, smart voice assistants can do things more quickly than typing, calling, or other forms of communication. It’s technology for the lazy, so undoubtedly it will become ubiquitous, as everything including the kitchen sink becomes voice interactive. 

That’s what Silicon Valley-based SoundHound Inc is trying to sell to investors, with a proposed merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
