Conversational interfaces

Veveo's developments in natural language processing and understanding enabled dialog-based real-time conversational interfaces to be introduced in late 2012.[4] These interfaces allow connected devices and applications to be used with natural conversational intelligence applied to voice interfaces. As a result, users can talk to devices with normal language and devices can respond with natural language responses.[5]
