Voice User Interface Projects

Learn how to build and develop interactive real-world voice enabled applications that not only understands voice commands but also provides smart actions against it.

Key Features Practical guide on building voice interaction for your applications targeting multiple platform. Real world examples on creating smart and practical virtual assistants. Create a virtual assistant for Automobile with Android Auto project in Xamarin Book Description

The future of user interfaces will be moving away from the touched based and the mouse clicking web interfaces to the voice and conversation based user interfaces. You could increase user engagement and improve your app adoption by adopting speech. You can literally give voice to any app.

This book provides developers a platform to create amazing voice-enabled applications for desktop, mobile as well as IoT devices. This book deals with the design principles involved in creating effective voice user interfaces (VUIs) and moves on to explores the different technologies and frameworks used for different practical use cases. This book would take you on a journey of getting started with voice apps to building your very own smart assistants that not only understands voice commands but provide smart actions against it.

This book will teach the developers how to create voice-enabled applications using the natural language processing platforms like Google (DialogFlow) and Amazon (Alexa Skill) and deploy the voice-enabled applications to the personal digital assistant devices such as Google Home, Amazon Echo, and Google Auto.

After developing these interfaces we'll deep dive into some testing frameworks to test the usability of our applications. By the end of the book, our readers would acquire complete knowledge on designing and developing interactive voice user interfaces.

What you will learn Understand natural language processing platforms with machine learning: DialogFlow and Alexa Skill Best practices and user experiences in creating voice user interfaces Build voice-enabled chatbots Build voice-enabled applications for the personal digital assistant devices: Amazon Echo, and Google Home Build automobile virtual assistant Who This Book Is For

This book will help software engineers develop voice-enabled applications for their personal digital assistant devices such as Amazon Echo, Google Home, and the automobiles’ virtual assistant system.
