One of the biggest leaps forward from #WWDC2019 is voice control. The ability to control your phone and mac with your voice. Yet rather than use this as a catalyst for voice interaction across the user base, they branded it as an accessibility feature @BrianRoemmele wtf?

I don’t get the fuss to be honest - they’ll still be on par for the vast majority of use cases. From surveys I’ve seen, iOS developers have shown no interest in other voice platforms so aren’t in a rush either.

Apple devs are likely to be hooked on iOS apps. What’s more important is what are Apple customers doing? In Microsoft’s voice report 2019, Siri was joint with google in terms of the most used assistant. Regardless of where the devs heads are, following users is a good idea.

The whole thing could be a strong two sided marketplace like phone apps - but something has to start it. If developers aren’t showing interest and users stick to OS based voice features, what’s going to get it moving?

You would think though, that if you have a load of data showing you that users are using voice for loads offitst party things, that someone would think
hang on, maybe there’s more to it

Gentleman, I have seen this thinking about 2 decades before the
#VoiceFirst revolution and sadly we will see it undue the leadership of the current companies in this space. The issue is complex. The solution starts with hiring the right folks and there are but a few dozen.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I wasn’t expecting a 180 degree pivot to SiriOS tonight, but deep down I was hopeful of something. It’s the first time I’ve thought “they really don’t get it”

Kane, I hear ya. You know I have become quite philosophical about folks not getting
#VoiceFirst. Or worse folks that dive in and then just want to shift it to screens primarily. It compounds when you have highly regarded Apple observers actively guiding Apple to this dead end.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

The devil in the detail at WWDC is often buried in the breakout sessions. Might be worth watching the platforms state of the Union later, Siri is planted there apparently. Don’t hold too much breath :)

David, Indeed. There is more. It is just not enough for what is needed for Apple to be in a leadership position.
