 The Sound of the Future: The Coming Age of Voice Technology by Tobias Dengel with Karl Weber presents elaborate insight into the evolution of voice technology, showing it to be the next big innovation in the tech world.

Dengel begins by stating that long-distance vocal communication was unattainable for a long time, and now can seamlessly liberate humans from familiar but ‘clumsy’ tools such as keyboards, knobs, pedals, buttons, and levers. It has been well articulated by various news quarters that voice recognition is gaining a reputation and growing usage with the rise of artificial intelligence and intelligent aids, such as Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri. This technology has for the first time allowed consumers to interact with technology simply by conversing with it, facilitating hands-free propositions, reminders, and other simple duties.

This technology is presently in a major shift, as numerous industries worldwide are incorporating it into their daily routines and procedures.

The author has proposed some of the greatest benefits of voice technology, along with reasons why it has not yet transformed the world as quickly as it could. His findings and deductions are persuasive and beautifully illustrate how business leaders can stay ahead of the game rather than scramble to catch up as voice technology uncovers its potency.

Through Dengel’s research and experience as a global leader in digital product design, readers will learn what makes voice technology phenomenal to the point that every big player in the business sector is heavily invested in it. Dengel states, “The voice is completely different from previous interface revolutions because the voice is not a technological interface but rather a human interface, one that virtually all humans on earth learn to use beginning in infancy and use naturally and intuitively every day of their lives.” These words usher in his well-founded justifications for voice as the present day’s ultimate and indispensable interface for economic pursuits.

The Sound of the Future thoroughly covers the impact of AI on humanity. It is one of the best technological compasses yet written.

This book offers practical scenarios to help readers easily understand various complex technological details. These advancements will soon impact all of human enterprise, and Dengel expertly demonstrates to the reader the need to learn and educate others about the growing dependency on AI tools. This lively book thereby becomes an indispensable companion to anyone who wishes to understand AI technology, its quest for human-level intelligence, and its ever-growing influence.
