App developer Maluuba is exploring the potential for its PersonalAssistant voice recognition app, with possible features to control TVs,
kitchen appliances and even cars with the voice.
The app currently operates as a hyper-effective Siri-like organisation
and search app.
Plans for voice interaction with appliances and hardware are predicted
for further in the future, while controlling hardware wirelessly through
voice interaction with a smartphone ‘might make sense’, according to
Tareq Ismail, head of UX for Maluuba.
