News Wire Feed Light Reading 1/26/2021 SAN JOSE, Calif. – TiVo, the company that brings entertainment together and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xperi Holding Corporation, and Pindrop, a pioneer in fraud detection and voice authentication, today announced a strategic global partnership to address the growing demands for a smarter, more personalized way to engage with entertainment content. TiVo and Pindrop have partnered to deliver a streamlined content discovery experience for consumers, unlocked through voice AI. Pindrop and TiVo will be continuing to collaborate to bring voice authentication technology to TiVo's Conversation Services product so that users have their own personalized experience. Through normal interactions via voice, over time the device distinguishes between household members and changes its behavior accordingly - no overt action on the part of the end user is required. For example, a user can say, "What should I watch?" and the TiVo service will tailor an experience with personalized content they are most likely to want to watch. If another member of the household says the exact same thing, they'll get completely different results - no profile switching required. And this is all done with privacy in mind. User opt-in is required, and while Pindrop's solution is able to distinguish between different speakers, the technology doesn't know nor need to know the identity of who is speaking.
