“The touch-screen on mobiles brought about a revolution in personal electronics in 2000s. The next wave is coming in the form of voice recognition. This is because the only thing better than using our fingers to control the technology around us, is using our voice, “ says Shashank. “If the voice recognition technology has to be mass adopted in India, it has to support Indian languages.”
