Your New Lab Partner Is Like Alexa™, But With a Ph.D.
Voice-activated assistants have come a long way since 1952, when Bell Laboratories’ Automatic Digit Recognizer (AUDREY) was invented. The first personal computer with built-in voice recognition was released in 1984, although it had a limited vocabulary. In 1997, Dragon Naturally Speaking became a blockbuster product. In the last decade or so, deep neural networks have allowed the development of such household names as Alexa, Google™ Home, Siri™, and CORTANA™. Today, LabTwin is poised to become a laboratory name to fulfill a similar purpose to Alexa or Siri, but at a much more advanced level.
