Whether you’re a mobile app developer in Dubai or just a big business giant waiting to enchant your users with a mobile app, here’s why you should infuse it with voice recognition features.
Asking Siri, Alexa, or Google to crack dad jokes, play 90s melody music, or get mad and call them mean for no reason. You’ve probably done at least one of these, haven’t you?
Voice recognition features in our mobile phones made us go ‘Wow’ when they were first introduced. From humming the tone of a song sounding like a dying whale to your voice assistant trying to remember it, to playing 20 questions when we’re bored, these voice recognition features have become a part of our daily lives.
App Enthusiasts, Users, IOS + Android App Developers in Dubai, Take Note!
This is YOUR chance to become a millionaire in just one month! OK- scratch that.
The legendary reels in Dubai are probably getting to my head. Let me try again,-
-this blog will explore the INCREDIBLE benefits you can gain by adding a voice recognition feature to your app in Dubai.
With 20% of users using voice search for mobile queries, this feature is now gaining popularity in mobile apps.
Setting filters and sorting through many options in e-commerce apps can be energy-draining. Especially for us, mentally exhausted Gen Z kids with designer eye bags and dreadful back pain.
I mean, imagine asking a real estate app in Dubai to show properties within a specific budget in downtown Dubai, and the next minute you’re displayed with some options. Stop Imagining. Because now this is becoming the reality.
Cool right?
Alright, alright, guess I’m getting carried away.
Before I start ranting about other reels that are uselessly trending, let’s dive right in.
Benefits of Voice Recognition Features in Mobile Apps.
What exactly does it mean to have a voice recognition feature in your app?
A speech or voice recognition feature allows a program to recognize the voice and understand the speech to transcribe it into a text. This process involves a few steps, such as audio input, feature extraction, pattern matching, and text output. Once you speak, the application’s system captures the audio, processes it, and converts your speech into a digital format.
If you’re wondering why you should add a voice recognition feature to your app, then check out some of the benefits mentioned below.
Human Touch
We have to admit it. Technology in this era can be quite overwhelming. When you go to a supermarket, you can’t say have a great day to the cashier because, well, there is no cashier lady. Instead, there is a self-checkout Kiosk. Sometimes we miss that human touch, don’t we?
While requesting your Android app developer in Dubai to add a voice recognition feature wouldn’t necessarily give your customers the experience of visiting a physical store, it would add a human touch to your app. Users can engage with their voice similar to how they would communicate with a salesperson.
Time-Saving
Another very obvious benefit of having a voice recognition feature is that it can be very time-saving. How many of us disregarded the idea of audio messages when WhatsApp first introduced them? But are we even typing messages now?
Apart from the grocery list or the good morning text to your client that is.
One of the main reasons we switched to audio messages is because it’s undoubtedly a quicker way to respond. Especially if you’re driving or eating but still want to reply to something urgently.
Similarly, voice recognition features in your mobile app can help users check out something quickly rather than having typos in something they searched for and having to retype again, costing a bit of their time and adding to their frustration. It helps them look for anything on their mind precisely and on the go, allowing them to multitask as well. A few simple and programmed commands on any app that you’re building, will enable users to quickly perform tasks while they’re cooking or driving.
Hands-Free
We’ve all come across a page in our school textbooks about flying cars in the future. While flying cars may still not be a thing, microwaves that heat our food, doors that lock themselves, or wearables that operate with our commands are rising in popularity. These programs are connected through our apps, and a simple command in our mobile app will make the magic happen in less than a few minutes.
Moreover, people with disabilities or visual impairments will find voice-enabled apps to be very helpful and accessible since they don’t have to touch or type on the mobile screen.
Multilingual Support
In a city like Dubai, where tourists and expats are coming from every nook and cranny of the world, a majority of people may struggle typing in or accessing apps that are primarily in English.
Adding a voice recognition feature when you’re launching an app in Dubai will allow users to engage with their app in their native language. This is because voice recognition features generally accommodate users from diverse linguistic backgrounds, making your app accessible to a wider community of people.
Nothing beats conversing in your native language, and giving a touch of home to expats living in Dubai through your app might be that distinctive feature that sets your app apart.
Competitive Edge
If your app is already ‘canceled’ by users and is in dire need of a groundbreaking revamp, you can consider adding a voice recognition feature.
This will turn your boring app with a lame user design into a really cool futuristic mobile app that enhances the user experience with hands-free functionality.
Combine that unique app idea you have in mind with this feature for a recipe of success and a much-needed competitive edge.
Wrapping Up
Adding a voice recognition feature to your mobile app can open doors to possibilities you never imagined. It’s reasonable for you to have doubts about its functionality. Especially when you’ve asked YouTube to play a specific Beyonce song several times and it ends up playing a video with a background song you don’t even know the language of. However, you can reduce the challenges of accuracy and compatibility by using a high-quality voice recognition program for your app. By reaching out to the best mobile app development company in Dubai, you’ll get hold of a professional team of app developers to implement this feature and build a successful
voice-enabled app.
