Domestic voice technology surpasses that of Europe and the United States. Foreign media collectively stated: China is rising!

Nowadays, most people in China talk about BAT companies verbally, but there are still many outstanding companies in China. For example, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc., but today the editor is talking about iFlytek. iFlytek was founded on December 30, 1999, almost at the same time as BAT companies. In the field of voice technology in China, it is the company with the longest basic research time, the largest asset scale, the best evaluation results, the most professional talents and the highest market share. Its intelligent voice core technology represents the highest level in the world. With the advent of artificial intelligence and intelligent voice, 2017 has become its explosion year, and its market value will further increase in the future.

As China's largest intelligent voice technology provider, iFlytek has a long history of research in the field of intelligent voice technology and has achieved internationally leading results in Chinese speech synthesis, speech recognition, oral evaluation and other technologies. Based on the world's leading intelligent voice technology with independent intellectual property rights, iFlytek has launched a variety of products that can meet different application environments, from large-scale telecommunications-grade applications to small embedded applications, from telecommunications, finance and other industries to enterprises and home users, from PCs to mobile phones to MP3/MP4/PMP and toys. Lin Ke, iFlytek's speech recognition engine is very powerful, and its Chinese speech recognition technology is basically the undisputed world's number one.

In the post-smart voice era, iFlytek can compete with Apple's Siri. In 2011, the iPhone 4s was released. This was Steve Jobs's last work. Although it was released by Cook, Jobs was in charge of the design of this phone from the initial conception to the final design. Its biggest highlight was the introduction of the voice assistant Siri. After that, Google Now was added to Android, and there was a "Chinese Siri" trend in China. iFlytek was one of the players. In addition, there were Xiaozhi 360, Wormhole, Sogou, Baidu and other players. iFlytek was undoubtedly at the forefront.

Another important reason why iFlytek input method is only now becoming popular is that iFlytek is low-key. This technology company, headquartered in the second-tier city of Hefei, lacks some Internet style. As its founder Liu Qingfeng said in 2013: From iFlytek's mobile Internet strategy, we are also constantly reflecting that our efficiency is higher than those of small Internet manufacturers or larger Internet manufacturers. It's not that we are not as fast as them, but that we are not as good at publicity and operation as them. Of course, we still have a lot of room for improvement in the iteration and promotion of this product.

Domestic voice assistants are better than Siri! This is definitely not bragging! For daily conversations, the recognition rate of iFlytek's speech points is close to 100%, and the conversation design is also very user-friendly. In particular, the voice of iFlytek's sister is much better than Siri's robot voice, and the speed is much faster than Siri. At present, there are probably these products in the field of intelligent voice: iFlytek, Baidu (DuerOS), Tencent (Tencent Whale), Google (Google Now), Microsoft (Xiaobing, Cortana), Apple (Siri). And iFlytek has undoubtedly become the pioneer of China's intelligent voice.

Some people also describe iFlytek as the Chinese version of Siri. Since smartphones naturally have the hardware foundation of "listening" and "speaking", coupled with the voice scenarios brought by the mobile Internet, people think that it is time for voice assistants to explode. iFlytek has been continuously improving its voice technology in recent years, and its progress in the fields of voice recognition, semantic understanding, speech synthesis and voiceprint recognition can be described as rapid progress. "Siri" is being redefined in China. iFlytek has realized the existing problems and is unwilling to be just a toy "teased" by users. It wants to redefine itself and no longer just be a "voice assistant". It seems that iFlytek's opponent in artificial intelligence is no longer Alibaba or Tencent, but overseas technology giants, Cortana, Google Now, Siri, a new round of fighting has begun. Others in the Chinese field cannot compete with iFlytek, at least for now. And voice is almost the only one among Chinese high-tech companies that can compete with the international level.
