Gaps for Other Players

There are still gaps left in voice interaction for players other than Amazon, Google, or Apple (or Samsung) to get involved in building their own voice products.

Specifically, these include:

• New modes of interaction. These combine voice, gesture, cameras, or other inputs.
• Unique experiences. These can be used by brands that allow for a more direct, unique experience with fans and customers.
• Local based interactions. Not relying on a off-device APIs.
• Enhanced security. Super secure interactions that don’t involve send data directly to the NSA.

More options will definitely open up over the coming two years.
