What Is Voice AI?

Voice AI is technology that lets computers understand and respond using human voices. It combines natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine learning. You’ve likely encountered it in virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, customer service systems, and smart home devices. It enables hands-free tasks such as sending texts, making calls, setting reminders, and controlling lights, and it continues to improve how people interact with machines across industries.

Who’s Behind Voice AI?

Modern Voice AI traces back to 2011, when British entrepreneur and inventor William Tunstall-Pedoe helped launch the technology. His company, Evi, was acquired by Amazon in 2012, and Evi’s technology became a core part of Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa.
