The Irish voice technology company is launching two new features to give children more interactive toy experiences with privacy in mind.
SoapBox Labs, the Dublin company that develops voice technology for children, has developed new voice tech features to enhance how children interact with their toys.
The company has today (25 May) launched voice activity detection (VAD) and custom wake words, which are used to activate a dormant device using a custom word or phrase.
SoapBox Labs said while this is common among many smart devices used by adults, its own feature is designed specifically for children’s unique speech patterns, behaviours, environments and privacy needs.
