Voice-first design and engineering: Join us Oct. 17 for a live webinar and Q&A session

Voice assistants can no longer be dismissed as a peripheral option or down-the-line discussion topic. Voice enablement is everywhere—from mobile devices and smart TVs to cars and refrigerators. As a result, voice assistants are quickly becoming the preferred way to interact with any device or application. That trend will only continue: According to some estimates, 50 percent of web-search queries in the U.S. will be voice generated by the year 2020.

So how do organizations shift to a voice-first approach to designing and engineering? This fall, we’re hosting a webinar and Q&A session, where we’ll dive into the following:

• How a voice user interface (VUI) works
• The current voice-first landscape and how it's laying the foundation for voice interface engineering
• Where to begin your voice-first assessment. Do your applications rely on search capabilities? Do users engage with it on the go?
• What a “voice skill” is and how to build one

We’ll also show you how Devbridge has leveraged VUI technology to extend the capabilities of our PowerUp app.
