Bangalore: Microsoft is enhancing its voice platform and making it more decisive this time round. It is building what it calls the 'conversational understanding' (CU) that will incorporate speech, a dictionary, grammatical structures and machine learning to understand and respond to what users are saying.
Zig Serafin, General Manager, Microsoft Speech Group shared with cnet news that although currently they don't have any product or service that does the above said process but the vision for CU is coming together.
Serafin added that the next step in speech technology would be to get the words to start a web search, make a phone call or launch an app. He said, "Where things are going, and where we're right on the cusp of moving into is the brain element of the system. And that is understanding meaning."
The idea sure is a very foreseeing one and when it will come into being is something Microsoft is not telling at the moment. While in the same topic, Google is also planning to launch a similar technology and when both of these are out it will once again be a war of the giants in a new battleground.
