Conversational interfaces

Veveo's developments in natural language processing and understanding-enabled dialog-based real-time conversational interfaces were introduced in late 2012. These interfaces allowed connected devices and applications to be used with conversational intelligence applied to voice interfaces. This allowed users to talk to devices with normal language and have devices respond with natural language responses.
