It’s becoming increasingly easy to accomplish tasks with your voice, thanks to the proliferation of intelligent assistants.

But voice computing won’t make the graphical user interface obsolete, said Alexa Engine VP Al Lindsay.

“When I think about voice, I think it will revolutionize in a natural way the way in which we interface with technology and devices, but it’s not going to replace the graphical user interface”.

“If you can imagine a voice reading back to you a list of 10 items so you can get the one you want, it’s probably not the optimal experience”.

“So I think there’s a sweet spot of combination of multimodal experiences, where voice forward — which we’re focused on — is supplemented with a screen for glanceable information or viewable information that allows your brain to process things more quickly”.
