Intel facilitates the implementation of Siri and Google Now in PCs

Company Intel is preparing a new series of chips for computers that will offer the possibility to benefit from systems such as Crab or Google Now on PCs in a similar way to that currently offered by some smartphones.

Intel collaborates with sensory to implement in its chips a component that allows the activation of Siri or Google Now using a voice command instead of a combination of keys or a mouse, iPhone 6S and some Android smartphones offering these functions at the moment.

TrulyHandsfree it is called the software that can access the functionality of the component that will be part of the chips Intel Skylake, Anniedale, Broxton, Broadwell si merrifield, everything being thought in a similar way to the M9 motion co-processor of the iPhone 6S.

With such functionality offered by Sensory's TrulyHansfree technology, PC users will be able to perform web searches or control computers by activating Siri or Google Now with a simple voice command, even when they are not at the computer.

… by working with Intel to offer deeply embedded ports of our TrulyHandsfree on their latest chips, we have made it simple for PC, tablet and smartphone manufacturers to enable voice wakeup to search or other functions from a low power always listening state.

I recently learned that Apple intends to implement Siri in OS X 10.12 this year, and with hardware support provided by Intel and Sensory can offer the personal assistant the Hey Siri function from the iPhone 6S that allows its voice activation for use.
