The virtual assistants they are very useful. In recent years, its use has been promoted thanks to artificial intelligence in which so many companies are investing. However, for a wizard to work it is necessary have a voice who will be in charge of giving "life" to the virtual assistant. Since there are different languages, there will have to be different voices.
Many of the voices that Siri uses were inherited from nuance, the company from Apple bought much of Siri's core technology. Galit Gura-Eini is the woman who voices the Siri in Hebrew. Galit will lead Apple to the courts for ensuring than using your voice with Siri "Not legitimate", due to its relationship with Nuance and not with Apple.
'To trouble' with Siri: Apple will return to court
Years ago, Galit Gaura-Eini recorded his voice after long hours of work with Nuance, a company from which Apple later acquired much of the technology on which Siri is currently based. However, many participants in the project worked and signed a contract with Nuance, and the purpose of his work was unclear.
That is why Galit Gaura-Eini has sued Apple claiming compensation of almost $ 70.000. She gives voice to Hebrew Siri in addition to other applications such as Waze. However, Gaura-Eini assures that his voice is being used to non-legitimate purposes, Since she, when working with Nuance, did not give permission for other companies to use her voice in any way. After purchasing the technology, Apple used all the sound libraries stored by the New York companies improving the algorithm.
The counterpoint is found in Apple. They defend themselves by ensuring that its purpose is legitimate and that Siri the only thing that does is join syllables using a computer algorithm. The judicial team also comes out to speak assuring that the purchase of the technology from Nuance is completely legitimate and therefore, they could use all the content developed in the project in a legitimate way.
