“Voice has taken a major leap forward, and it has emerged over the last couple of years as a new foundational interaction model in computing,” Altuna said. “Voice provides customers with the ability to easily find and collect information, connect with brands and even make purchases. As users start to have access to this voice technology most everywhere, brands will have to start incorporating voice technology into their overarching strategy.”
