Tractica: voice and speech recognition software market to reach $6.9 billion by 2025

The firm anticipates that the leading use cases for the technology during that period will be healthcare (clinical documentation), automotive virtual digital assistants (VDAs) and voice commerce and customer service applications. Additional use cases will include smart home controls, security and authentication, and voice search, among others.

“Speech recognition technology has been around for quite a while, but it was the emergence of smartphones and cloud computing that was the real game-changer for this market,” said Tractica’s principal analyst, Mark Beccue. “Artificial intelligence algorithms have improved voice and speech recognition accuracy rates significantly in the span of a few short years, and these new capabilities are enabling a wider range of applications for spoken interfaces across multiple industry sectors.”
