A Survey on Voice Assistants

Everything in this world is invented with just one aim, to make life easier, from a mere toothbrush to an extravagant car. With a similar aim in mind to fulfil the thirst for knowledge, internet and search engines were created, where world's vast knowledge was within the reach of our fingers, but that wasn' t enough and as time passed, voice recognition tools came into play which was later embedded into search engines to create voice assistants. Voice assistant is a fast-growing feature and it has the capability to change the way people are living. It has already made a huge impact through devices like Amazon Echo, Google home and Apple home pod. Voice assistant is widely used in Desktop and mobile phones through Siri, Cortona and Google assistant. It helps in making the life of a visually impaired person a little less difficult. Voice assistant is also combined with internet of things (IOT) to create a home assistant, to access all the appliances using voice commands. With so many boons it is bound be one of the leading technologies used in the future. The goal of this paper is to show best ways to implement voice assistant-based device and to present people's opinion on voice assistant.
