Voice Year in Review 2021 The Enterprise Edition - Voicebot Podcast Ep 239

This week we discuss voice year in review for 2021. All of the
guests in this episode are based in Europe but operate globally
so you will get both perspectives. Also, the conversation is
heavily skewed toward enterprise voice applications because that
drove so much of the important news in 2021. We start with an
in-depth discussion of acquisitions and funding which were bigger
in 2021 than in any previous year. Guests include:


- Otto Soderlund is CEO and co-founder of Speechly which is
pioneering a new full-duplex and super-fast voice interface for
the web and mobile.


- Dominik Meissner is a co-founder of 169 labs. The company has
worked with Sony, Ikea, Lotto, Mercedes Benz, MINI, and Diageo.


- Maarten Lens-Fitzgerald is the creator of Open Voice, one of
the most popular newsletters in the industry, and founder of the
Project Zilver consortium which seeks to make the lives of elder
adults better through the use of voice assistants.
