The purchase could give Apple the software it needs to take Siri, and potentially its automotive project, to the next level.
Apple has reportedly bought UK startup VocalIQ, according to a new report from the Financial Times.
VocalIQ builds speech-processing technology. Its software is designed to facilitate more natural communication between humans and computers, as explained by sources close to the deal.
In a blog post from the company, VocalIQ explains how the challenge of the Internet of Things is in combining human and artificial intelligence to create a continuous stream of new knowledge. It believes we need more than automated speech recognition (ASR) to improve the conversation between people and machines.
