Vocal remote controllers: the future is already here

If you like Alexa or if you setted on all your devices Google Assistant, you were catched by the idea to replace the old IR remote controllers with the very new vocal remote controllers. It seems that to work to an integrated system there are already Apple for theiTV with Siri and Microsoft with a specific version for the Kinect. But if you can’t wait for the future we propose some other solutions that you can start to use since now, which doesn’t cost too much neither.

Remote controllers with integrated vocal commands

Apple wants to expand itself and it is focusing on its own television. Probably it will be right Siri to replace the remote controller. Microsoft, instead, have the experience made with the Kinect for the videogames, a great base to realize a television without controller. But there are even other producers that might surprise and propose a new television with vocal commands. 

Like Mike Thompson VP by Nuance that is currently one of the biggest producers of technology with vocal recognition and is working with Samsung to eliminate the remote controller. “The partnership between Nuance and Samsung demonstrates how the vocal commands, can extraordinarily transform, the interaction between the audience and the TV.” these are his words, which let us think that they are at a good point. They are very close even the developers of the service Xfinity that uses the application Comcast which is able to manage, thanks to the vocal inputs, many activities for the smart home.

The problem to solve is though technical: the system infact must be able to divide the commands from the noise of the same television. And even the system must be able to recognise a conversation and to ignore it. 

So to have something integrated in the television, we must wait un unkown time.

If though you don’t want to wait, so you can try the vocal remote controllers, you can easily buy them on internet and the installation is very easy and quick. We propose some models, even very cheap, that will allow you to easily manage the television.
