Quote: "The assertion that Alexa growth is slowing is not accurate,” Pearsall wrote to Bloomberg. “The fact is that Alexa continues to grow—we see increases in customer usage, and Alexa is used in more households around the world than ever before.” End-quote. So that sure sounds like some board-member speak there. That said, I personally use Siri. I typically use it to check the weather or play music. Nothing else. I also have a HomePod mini. It’s fine for what it is. I just don’t think that voice controlled software is going to go beyond general information that you Can access quickly by asking a simple question, especially if you are doing something else at the same time. Notes? Faster to check it manually since most people can read and find information faster than a voice telling you your notes one by one. Searching for info? Right now it’s easier to do it yourself. Even Siri will say “here’s what I found on the web for #thing”, forcing you to look at your phone. I don’t know, maybe there is potential there. But people will always do what’s easier and faster. A voice just isn’t faster than reading and doing tasks yourself in many situations.
