Listen, I know I'm going to come off like a complete nutcase when I say this, but I also know some of you nerds out there understand.

You know what the best thing about Sanae Hanekoma getting voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda in the anime is?

It's that now you can access an otome voice app that sounds like Hanekoma. Ꮚ˃ꈊºัᏊ Love & Poke - Poke and Love has a lot of different characters and scenarios, but Newlywed Darling Seishirou ver. uses Kenjiro Tsuda as his VA. It has a lot of really sweet lines in it. I would say out of every voice pack I got I only ran into two or three lines which could be interpreted as potentially NSFW, but even then it was extremely vague and very easy to ignore. Overall, it was a very good time.

And look at this, I already took the liberty of making you guys (it was for me, let's be honest), some illustrations to go along with it.

Like, I know I'm not the best but I think I did good enough. It helps a lot that I could use the original image as a base. XD In any case, have fun, nerds. I hope you enjoy getting sweet nothings from your favorite dandy barista.

I should also note, however, that Kenjiro Tsuda also voices Kaiba, Overhaul, Nanami, and a lot of other great characters so the possibilities for this one are endless. > v >

I have a little urge to call up businesses to ask things just to see whether they'd call me ma'am or sir. My body/face still doesn't pass yet at all but my voice is reading male (albeit with breaking) on voice training apps.. But I hope I don't make myself out to look like a prank caller...but I suppose essentially I actually would be a prank caller because I'm not a customer. Have other trans people done this or suggest alternatives?

Voice pitch analyzer apps! Or, volunteer to make phone calls for your friends. Someone with phone anxiety would probably be very happy if you helped them by calling to cancel their cable bill, etc.

Using Google Voice To Reduce Your Smartphone Bill

Smartphone agreements are complicated when voice service is in question. You can go overboard plus have a thousand or further extra minutes that won't be necessary to use every month, or minimize your usage and track your minutes at every end of each billing phase to ensure you don't surpass the cap. But if you have a Google Voice app on your Android smartphone, you can cut your voice usage considerably by steering calls through your smartphone's 4G or 3G connection-or, if you can rely on Wi-Fi connections only, you may well eliminate your cell service completely.

What's Google Voice?

Google Voice service has been around since March 2009. It uses Voice over IP, a communications protocol that drives voice and multimedia communications via the Internet. Which means your voice is communicated out over your Internet connection as an alternative over the normal voice network. Generally, your Internet connectivity should handle a minimum of 80Kps both ways to receive high-quality voice signal and with low latency. Fairly much any cable, mobile broadband, or DSL connection nowadays can take care of that.

Google Voice is applicable with any Android phone and accessible by just installing the app, however in that scheme, it will mean you'll still have to use your cellular minutes. So as to receive the calls using your mobile broadband or Wi-Fi connection, and you'll also require another app, Groove IP, to direct calls from landline to your Google's number, which evades the cellular network completely.

How to set up Google Voice

The first step is to sign up for the service. But for Google account holders, open voice.google.com and proceed.

Non-Google account holders will need to create one. Once an account has been created and the necessary required information filled, click to request a new number. Pick the area code and then look for the number you would like. Once a number is chosen, you will be prompted for a PIN to use for authentication purposes.

Subsequently, click the cog at the top right under the Google Voice page and see the options. Go to the Settings and add your landline's phone number by clicking Add a new phone (not your cell number!). You'll receive a call from Google to verify if the number is valid.

After your account is set up; the next step is to access the Android Market to download the Voice app, if you don't have the app already. Setting up is simple: Log in, confirm the similar forwarding number that you previously set up on the Web, and verify 'Use Voice' for all calls (tap the menu button on your smartphone and head to Settings in app, and subsequently into Making Calls). The app can also be set to take care of all your voicemails.

Take into account that sometimes you could run into circumstances where your Internet connection isn't enough to make the call. In such instances, just have your Wi-Fi connection turned off, and Google Voice will prompt you if you'd prefer calling over your normal network instead.

The development of voice devices and applications is a significant step forward in artificial intelligence (AI), allowing us to use numerous services without the need for our hands. By now, voice assistants' functional and qualitative features have advanced to the point where they are indispensable in daily life as well as the world of work.

According to Techcrunch, “smart devices like the Amazon Echo, Google Home and Sonos One will be installed in a majority – that is, 55 percent – of U.S. households by the year 2022”. Only in the last year, the number of voice platforms users in the United States has grown by 128.9 percent.

The number of voice assistants available today is overwhelming. Have you already met Nina, Silvia, Dragon, Jibo, Vokul, Samsung Bixby, Alice, or Braina? If not, you must have heard about Cortana for Windows, Siri for IOS, Google Assistant for Android, and Alexa for Amazon ― they are undisputed leaders in the field.

They may be accessed via stand-alone devices, for instance, Alexa Echo or Google Home, or via a smartphone, a laptop, a smart TV set, or a tablet. Users connect to a voice assistant using a keyword, such as “Hey Siri” or “Ok Google”.

 Potential Benefits Voice Services Are Available To You

The most advanced voice interface technology can detect a person's age, gender, and mood in order to provide the most relevant and suitable response. They may also be employed as a security precaution because they can recognize a specific person's vocal patterns. Even the voices of two young ladies, for example, will be distinguished.Voice assistants have the potential to be both useful and amusing. They may be used to obtain a response to a general query, listen to a news short, check the day's agenda, or control a smart home. Voice assistants also make online shopping more convenient by allowing users to place, track, and cancel orders.

Fascinated? We were, indeed. Several years ago.

Since most modern people have become accustomed to them, such qualities do not appear as amazing as they formerly did. These features appear to be useful, but they may simply be disabled. If you're being honest, how frequently do you talk to your voice assistant because you have a pressing need to do so?

As a result, the pressing issue is to increase voice technology's functionality to the point where it becomes necessary. And they can become such in situations where individuals require a voice assistant because their hands are occupied, dirty, or damp, or when interruptions have a negative impact on performance and productivity. A speech platform will assist drivers in staying focused on the road and avoiding distractions. Voice applications will be used by hefs in restaurants to verify recipes, add things to the "To Order" list, and evaluate or close orders. To guarantee the safety of the production process and increase efficiency, workers at a factory can use speech apps to operate machines. The possibilities are limitless. The issue is that the possibilities are restricted.

Voice UI - User Experience Herausforderungen

English Version of this post

Voice Apps bzw. Interfaces sind die größte Neuerung und UX Herausforderung seit Erfindung des iPhones, aber es gelten noch immer die klassischen Usability Prinzipien. Um zu verstehen, wie Voice Apps funktionieren sollten und wie Menschen damit umgehen, müssen wir die menschliche Kommunikation verstehen und nachvollziehen, dass die NutzerInnen eine Erwartungshaltung haben, die darauf basiert wie sie üblicherweise durch Sprache kommunizieren.

Erst einmal ist es wichtig, den Usern genügend Infos darüber zu geben, was sie tun können. Außerdem muss man ihnen die Einschränkungen verständlich machen, insbesondere dass aktuell kein richtiger Dialog entstehen kann. Bei der Konzeption versucht man, die Absicht der NutzerInnen zu antizipieren: man kann zwar nicht alle Absichten vorhersehen, aber man kann eine Infrastruktur schaffen, die Kontext-bezogen funktioniert. Hierfür startet man am besten mit einem konkreten Use Case und versucht die Intention des Users an jedem Punkt der Konversation zu antizipieren, um eine passende Antwort parat zu haben. Damit das funktioniert ist es wichtig, gut zu planen, detailliert zu konzipieren und mit diversen potentiellen NutzerInnen zu testen.

Was kann die App?

Nutzer können nicht sehen, wo sie in der VUI sind, also muss man ihnen sagen, welche Funktionen sie nutzen und nutzen können und dabei die richtige Menge an Infos bieten. Je nach Thema der Voice App braucht man eine passende Einführung, um über die Möglichkeiten der App zu informieren.

Wie strukturiert man die Konversation?

Hinsichtlich der Konversation gibt es ein paar grundlegende hilfreiche Regeln. Ja/Nein-Fragen bieten sich an, weil sie unkompliziert sind und die NutzerInnen sie gut beantworten können. Pro Interaktion empfiehlt Amazon maximal drei Optionen. Außerdem sollte man die Möglichkeit bieten, aus der Konversation/Anfrage auszusteigen und neu anzufangen, falls eine falsche Abzweigung genommen wurde. Falls die Voice App etwas nicht versteht, sollte eine sinnvolle Antwort gegeben werden (Bitte wiederholen, bitte langsamer reden, oder andere Fragen vorschlagen), sodass keine Sackgasse entsteht sondern eine Hilfestellung gegeben wird.

Ausblick

Momentan fehlt Voice User Interfaces die Fähigkeit, weiter zu gehen als einfache Anweisungen zu verarbeiten. Sie sollten noch mehr „conversational“ werden, sodass man tatsächlich eine Unterhaltung mit ihnen führen kann. Um das zu erreichen, müssen sie sich die Vergangenheit merken: sowohl vergangene Konversationen als auch das, was die NutzerIn im Verlauf der aktuellen Konversation gesagt hat. Es wird auch nötig sein, dass Voice Apps und andere Apps und Geräte besser miteinander verknüpft werden, damit man in unterschiedlichem Kontext von Voice zu visueller Darstellung z.B. auf dem Laptop wechseln kann. („Alexa, schick das an mein iPhone“).
