#3 How to make a voice assistant like Siri
AI-powered mobile voice assistants can be designed by using any of the below three methods. In particular, to build an app like Siri, we can use three methods.
- Junior method: This is an easy method. You can include voice assistant technology into the mobile app with some APIs (Application Program Interfaces) and AI app development tools.
- Middle method: This method is a little bit tricky. By utilizing open-source services and APIs, you can develop a voice assistant.
- Senior method: This method includes the complete development of a voice assistant from starting and integration into the mobile app.
1. Junior method
The development of a mobile AI app is tough, but the junior method makes it much easy. The junior method of app development is based upon the addition of important technologies from the top companies.
How to integrate Siri into a mobile app?
To incorporate Siri into your app, you’ll require Siri Kit of Apple. The SDK (software development kit) has two types of mobile app extensions including-
- An Intents app extension: Manages all activities in your mobile app
- An Intents UI app extension: Controls brand and custom content
2. Middle method
While making a voice assistant app, an external open-source solution is needed. Here are some of the tools that can help you while creating the AI-based voice assistant apps.
• Melissa
If you are a beginner in the development of voice assistant apps, then it is the perfect tool since it has several different parts that can be modified easily without any changes in the main algorithm. Melissa can take important notes, read the news, speaks, play music, uploads images, works on Windows, OSX, and Linux.
• Jasper
This tool is perfect for those individuals who want to create vital parts of artificial intelligence mobile apps without any external support. It runs on Raspberry Pi’s Model B. It can listen because of the active module and learn smartly because of the passive module.
• Dialogflow
This tool supports voice-to-text conversion technology, voice recognition to perform commands, and respond. It has both free as well as paid versions. The difference between these two is that the paid tool works on a private cloud. That’s why it is suitable for those individuals who have confidentiality on the priorities list.
• Wit.ai.
Wit.ai tool is the same as Dialogflow. It needs two components:
1) Requests of users (intents)
2) Characteristics of the requests (entities)
It has a good amount of intents. That’s why there is no need for building it. This tool is completely free for users.
3. Senior method
This method is suitable for those who are fully experienced in app development. If you utilize powerful and efficient computing resource services, the development of an independent voice assistant app becomes easier.
