With the metaverse, the future of human-computer action will evolve to become more natural and frictionless, with less reliance on a mouse, control pad, keyboard, or other physical input devices.
This inevitably means voice will become the default way that humans interact with technology. The first adopters will naturally be children, and we can already see kids today growing up as “metaverse natives” in the same way as Millennials and Gen Z have grown up as digital natives. Children are at ease inhabiting these multi-faceted, play/social/experience-based platforms and embracing and adopting new technologies.
It’s critical that kids be provided with the tools to maximize these experiences and ensure that they can do so safely and in an age-appropriate way. Speech recognition software for children can provide a range of critical services and will ultimately be a core part of the infrastructure of the metaverse.
