Facebook acquires voice recognition startup
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 8:
The way Facebook is used might change drastically in the future with possibility of voice recognition capabilities as the social media giant recently acquired Wit.ai, a speech recognition startup founded 18 months ago.
While no immediate plans for the acquisition are clear, and the software used by Wit.ai does not seem to relate to pre-existing programs, the possibilities remain endless.
Critics have commented that with solid voice recognition, it could improve the Facebook experience, from Siri-style commands or deeper mobile integration.
There are also speculation of Facebook pairing the new software with the Oculus Rift as a way of navigating within specific virtual environments.
Facebook has always held a keen interest in the field of artificial intelligence software. As reported in 2013, chief executive officer and founder Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook had formed an Artificial Intelligence group, with the company acquiring a machine-translation company and hiring the best academic minds in the field.
He said the goal was to “to do world-class artificial intelligence research using all of the knowledge that people have shared on Facebook.”
He added that Facebook would work towards new products that are more natural to interact with, and could solve problems beyond the reach of current technology.

Voice interface for the Internet of Things
*I wonder if this makes any sense, other than sounding quite like a Ray Bradbury dystopia.

With natural-language processing aided by crowdsourced data, Wit.ai aims to make smartphones, wearables, and drones heed your call.Â
By Rachel Metz on October 24, 2014Â
"As devices become more intelligent, we’ll need new ways to interact with them.  (((Why?)))
"It’s not unusual to find yourself talking to an uncoöperative appliance or gadget. Soon, though, it could soon be more common for those devices to actually pay attention.
"A startup called Wit.ai plans to make it easy for hardware makers and software developers to add custom voice controls to everything from smartphones and smart watches to Internet-connected thermostats and drones.
"While big companies like Apple and Google have their own voice recognition technology, smaller companies and independent developers don’t have the deep pockets required to create voice software that continuously learns from mountains of data.
"Wit.ai, based in Palo Alto, California, is taking aim at the swiftly growing number of devices with small displays, or no screen at all, and at activities like driving and cooking, where you may want the aid of technology but don’t want to look at or touch a display.
"And to give all kinds of developers access to a simple-to-use, always-learning natural-language service, the company is offering it free to those who agree to share their user data with the Wit.ai community. Collecting this data should help improve the accuracy of the system over time.
"  “Everyone will benefit from that,” cofounder and CEO Alex Lebrun says.
"Lebrun has been thinking about how to make something like Wit.ai work for a while. He previously founded and led VirtuOz, a company that spent months building Siri-like voice-controlled software for clients like eBay and AT&T (bought by the speech recognition company Nuance in late 2012, these days it goes by the name Nina Web).
"With Wit.ai, developers type a handful of plain-English commands they want it to recognize, such as “Wake me up tomorrow at 6” or “Wake me up in 20 minutes,” and note what they want to accomplish through each command—in this case, set the alarm on a hypothetical voice-controlled smart watch. Wit.ai uses what it knows about language to figure out the different ways a command might be expressed. Then, when a user wants to set the alarm for a specific time, that person’s utterances are sent to a Wit.ai server, which analyzes the audio and sends structured data back to the gadget—here, the instruction to set the alarm for the proper date and time. A demo on the company’s site gives an idea of how this can work. Already, about 4,600 developers are using Wit.ai with things like mobile apps, robots, home automation, and wearable devices…."
