Josh.ai Adds Dish Hopper Set-Top Box Integration to Voice Control Platform

Josh.ai continued its integration expansion with Dish Network, announcing Thursday its voice control platform works with the Hopper family of set-top boxes. Users with Josh and Dish can use natural language cues to navigate guide, menu, play, pause, fast-forward, rewind and “select television companies,” said the companies. Examples of voice commands for the Hopper interface are: “watch the Weather Channel,” “Channel 200,” “Next Channel,” “Guide,” “DVR” and “Watch ESPN, turn down the volume on the TV, open shades to 30 percent and turn on the lights.” Josh announced other integrations recently with LG, Savant and Yamaha.
