Eight Intriguing Offerings from the 2019 Voice Summit

The Voice Summit, like Voice First itself, is still in its early years.  The second annual event was last week – and you would think incorrectly that at least one writer from a national news media outlet would written about it by now, especially with 5000 attendees, sponsorships from Amazon and Google, 150 exhibitors, and numerous awards.  In fact one of those which went to UnaliWear for Best IoT Device, a firm we have long tracked in the aging tech market segment, but given the rise of smart watches, the potential transcends that segment. Another (healthcare) went to Suki, a voice notes offering for doctors that "has demonstrated up to 70% reduction in time spent entering notes." 

Next year’s event will no doubt add links to the winners’ websites, and perhaps could appear to beless random, perhaps with (or only with) case studies demonstrated by deploying organizations. Even better, the vendors will also have more descriptive websites. Here are six (in addition to UnaliWear and Suki) that caught my eye:

Behavioral Signals.  "Behavioral Signals: Behavioral Signals develops technology to analyze human behavior from voice-data. Using their flagship product, Oliver API, for emotions and behavior recognition, enterprises can track emotions and behaviors in conversations and get a complete view of related key performance indicators. Their award-winning emotion recognition and behavioral prediction analytics technology utilize cognitive modeling and advanced machine learning algorithms to provide enriched conversational insights for interaction with voice assistants, chatbots, robotic virtual assistants, social healthcare robotics and mobile voice assistants."
