New Apple's iOS 5 With 'Deep' Voice Command Integration Rumored to Be Announced Soon


According to the famous technology website, TechCrunch, Apple has almost completed its "deeply integrated" voice control feature which will be included in the new iOS 5 and it is expected to be announced at this year's Worldwide Developer's Conference. The reports claim that this new voice control will be a hybrid blend of both artificial intelligence and assistance technology. The rumors also say that Apple is only giving the iOS 5 the necessary "finishing touches" as it is completed to be demonstrated at WWDC.
These newly added features are said to be taken to have gathered from a technology firm which Apple acquired back in 2010, named Siri. Siri was actually the developer of a personal assistant application for the iPhone, which allowed the users to just speak to the device like an ordinary conversational of English and have the device find any kind of information involving the automatically task completion feature. This advanced voice control technology, which is now owned by Apple, is hugely rumored to be the highlight of iOS 5. It has also been rumored that developers will be able to use this technology in the third-party applications in it as well.

In a report of Wall Street Journal, after gathering all the rumors it was published earlier this year that Apple is working on "voice navigation" features in iOS 5. Moreover, even The New York Times had made the claim in a post of February stating that Apple hopes to complement iPhone through a better voice commands as plenty of their users are not a big fan of using the virtual keyboard. Even AppleInsider has also reported that Apple is hoping to enlarge its iOS development team with making a new post of voice control experts. Apple introduced three new job listings seeking employees to fill the role of "iOS Speech Operations Engineer."
This Monday Apple announced that WWDC will begin on the 6th of June at San Francisco's Moscone West, where it is planning to "unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS." This annual conference of developer’s made record breaking sales in 10 hours to get sold out.
