Voice Remote Use Slow to Catch on With Video Watchers, nScreenMedia Analyst Says

Cable companies invest heavily in voice remote capabilities, but there isn't strong evidence consumers are embracing such capabilities, nScreenMedia's Colin Dixon blogged Tuesday. Pointing to TiVo data indicating half the people with access to voice search capabilities actually use it, with that percentage being roughly flat year over year, he said voice search is apparently slow to catch on with consumers. The analyst said one area showing growth is use of voice assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home for searching for video content.
