Apart from this, the use of facial recognition with voice recognition and multi-factor systems for enhanced security is bolstering the growth of the voice and speech recognition market.

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented due to the increasing product innovation and product development, the growing proliferation of voice-enabled devices and the increasing adoption of smart devices. The market is also not capital-intensive due to the availability of open-source software development tools, which are available for developers to create speech and voice recognition tools and application programming interfaces (APIs). The volume of new entrants is low in the voice and speech recognition industry due to low product differentiation.

What is Voice and Speech Recognition?

Voice and speech recognition refers to an authentication technology that assists in receiving and interpreting the human voice and carrying out spoken commands. It translates the voice commands into electrical signals, converts them into coding patterns, and sends them to the device in a digital format for the final execution. It relies on advanced technologies, such as machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), to understand colloquialisms, abbreviations, and acronyms, and integrate patterns from this data using neural networks. It assists in increasing the productivity of businesses by automating tasks, such as transcription, data entry, and appointment scheduling and allowing users to focus on more complex tasks and increasing their overall performance. It also helps people with disabilities and those who have difficulty typing to communicate more easily and efficiently.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a severe problem for the voice and speech recognition industry and halted the production of speech and voice recognition devices for a short term. It restricted the movement of raw materials required to develop voice and speech recognition devices and also created a serious disturbance in the supply chains, which further resulted in shortages and increments in the price of raw materials. It also imposed economic uncertainty, consumer spending constraint, restricted physical retail opportunities, and installation restrictions. However, the demand for voice and speech recognition devices was partially accelerated by the pandemic as people started working from home. The market entered the mainstream and currently encompasses a broad range of middle and basic entry-level and lower-cost products, which further offer growth opportunities to key market players entering the market.

Voice and Speech Recognition Market Trends:

At present, rapid digitization, increasing penetration of high-speed internet and shifting consumer preferences towards the adoption of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, with voice and speech recognition software pre-installed in them represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. In addition, improving standards of living and the burgeoning media and entertainment industry are catalyzing the demand for voice and speech recognition across the globe. Moreover, key market players are introducing advanced features such as proactive voice assistants and omnipresent voice recognition, which is driving the market growth. Apart from this, the growing concerns for safety are propelling the need for a strong verification process in BFSI. This, in confluence with the large number of banks adopting voice-based authentication solutions for accepting transactions, is bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, inflating disposable incomes and the rising adoption of automobiles with onboard infotainment systems that use voice to control the system are fueling the growth of the market.
