Huge demand for voice interaction designers
Next, voice assistants are in huge demand, and this means that the need for voice interaction designers (also known as conversational designers) will grow significantly in coming years, and more voice interaction designers are needed to meet the needs of organizations.
People talk, and talking is natural
Shyamala says that voice technology is booming because, quite simply, people talk.
“Not long ago, voice and talking were unique to human beings. But today many voice assistants are part of our daily life!
“Who would have thought that we would be talking to our phone? We always thought phones and electronic gadgets were for communicating with other people. Did we ever think we would be talking to a gadget instead? Not really,” says Shyamala.
Technology has advanced to a stage that we no longer always need a human to talk to. Chatbots and voice assistants are everywhere right from your home to your cars. People are using these devices for everything from entertainment to concierge services.
People are now comfortable using voice devices
“Because of this, voice interaction designers are in huge demand. The comfort that the digital assistants provide is too good for people to ignore,” she notes. “So, yes, digital assistants and voice interfaces are the future. Why don’t you prepare for the future? This course is designed to prepare you for the future in the voice industry!”
