Awareness: Voice control of smartphones is building awareness of the potential for voice control of other products, Parks Associates research director Barbara Kraus noted.

“Almost 52 percent of iPhone owners engage with Siri, and almost 32 percent of Android smartphone owners talk with their phone,” said Kraus. “Voice is ideal in certain situations.”

Amazon’s Echo has also proven the popularity of voice control. More than 40 percent of Echo owners use it to retrieve Cloud-based information, about 35 percent use it to stream music, and almost 20 percent use it to control home-automation devices, Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) found.
