Netflix Adopts SoundHound Voice Interface for Hands-Free Search

Netflix will use SoundHound’s voice AI interface for its Da Vinci reference design kit, said SoundHound Tuesday. The voice user interface will allow operators to provide more convenient, easier, and hands-free experiences to their subscribers without the need to develop a voice solution on their own, it said. Searches can be granular, SoundHound said, giving the example of a user asking for action movies, from the 1990s only, that aren’t over 150 minutes long. Users will also be able to access their set-top box for voice commerce, such as ordering pizza, or controlling other devices in the home, it said.
