According to foreign media reports, Apple is very likely to launch an upgraded version of voice control technology at the new iPhone release on the second day of the local time, this allows the iPhone to have speech recognition functions similar to those described in the movie star trek.

Apple has previously designed basic voice control functions for the iPhone for users to dial up or access songs. But Gene Munster, analyst at Piper Jaffray, an investment agency in the United States, stressed that the upgraded voice command will enable users to enter appointment information in the phone calendar via voice, send text messages or emails and browse webpages.

Competition stimulates innovative speech technology to become another innovative product field promoted by Apple and Google in the fierce competition environment. Over the past few years, Google has been promoting the development of speech technology. Currently, Google's voice function can convert voice information into text and perform online search based on voice commands. Larry Marcus, managing director of SoundHound Inc., who specializes in language recognition, pointed out that the challenges Apple and Google face today are how to enable Mainstream users to accept voice control technologies. "Apple's speech control technology is promising and allows people to think differently about Speech Control," said Marcus. Voice control is an important way for human-computer communication. Apple may have worked hard to find a correct solution to its speech control problems ." Mike Phillips, chief technology officer and co-founder of Vlingo, a speech recognition technology provider developed in collaboration with Nuance, pointed out that, apple is likely to cooperate with Nuance Communication, the world's largest speech recognition software company, to develop the voice control technology for the new iPhone. Last year, Apple also acquired the speech recognition software company Siri, which provides users with the service of entering and booking meals or searching flights through voice commands. As consumers demand to complete complex computing tasks in Mobile, mobile products have become a new field in the market of speech recognition technology. John Donovan, chief technology officer of AT&T, pointed out that mobile phone functions will increasingly integrate voice commands with physical operation commands. "The development of voice control technology is a good thing for the entire market," Phillips said. But the question is: where will it go? Will this technology completely change people's search experience ?" Phillips pointed out that this means that voice control will become a major way to search, not just for a moment. Monster predicts that Apple's iPhone sales in the fourth quarter of this year will reach a record of 25 million units. The continued popularity of the iPhone also supported Apple's share price during the year. As of Monday's close, Apple's share price fell by $6.72 in regular Nasdaq stock trading, at $374.60 per share. The company's share price has risen by 16% in the year. However, Ramon Llamas, an analyst at the market research firm IDC, points out that, even so, the launch of the new iPhone, which took up to 16 months, has put apple under great pressure from competitors. "Apple should launch a new iPhone every year," he said. The 16-month period provided too much competition space for other competitors ."
