Kia unveils voice-driven auto infotainment system-"UVO"

Kia unveils voice-driven auto infotainment system - "UVO"

This is cool!

Certain Kia car owners will soon be able to play music and make phone calls, all by just the sound of their voice.

Kia Motors' new infotainment system "Uvo powered by Microsoft" will let car owners access its key features by voice as well as by touch.
With an assist from Microsoft speech technology and an embedded version of Windows,
Uvo will help drivers and passengers make and answer phone calls, respond to text messages, and play music from different sources.

Using Microsoft's voice recognition, car owners will be able to direct the system by issuing short voice commands rather searching through complex menus.

Drivers and passengers can scroll through their music lists and phone books by voice or via the touch screen.

Uvo powered by Microsoft is a breakthrough for in-vehicle infotainment that helps allow drivers and passengers to safely and easily use all of their personal technologies to create personalized in-vehicle communications and entertainment experiences.
