Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is a company for which independence and control are extremely important, that's why it tries to build its own services to offer users the functionality that other companies offer. In this idea, those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), In the format in Boston a team of specialists in the recognition of voice commands, some of them former employees of Nuance, and their objective is to reproduce the functionality of Nuance and improve it, so that Apple no longer has to use this technology for Siri.
Nuance is based exactly in the city of Boston, Apple is active in trying to hire its important people, it managed to attract some of those who led the teams that developed the voice command recognition systems and the work will not stop here. If Apple manages to give up Nuance, but keep the quality of services, then it will have total control over Siri, it will not have to share its information with any partner and it will be able to modify the functionality of the assistant at will, without depending on anyone.
The problem with this plan is that initially the system will not be as good as Nuance's and we have enough evidence in the past that indicates that Apple's attempts to reproduce the functionality of some important technologies did not bear fruit. No one knows how much Apple will invest in this project, no one knows how long it will take to complete it, but it is clear that Apple is trying.
