Business Wire
Sonos Voice Control is an entirely new voice
experience that delivers fast, accurate hands-free control of your
music and your Sonos system with unmatched privacy
Today, Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) introduced the first voice
experience created purely for listening on Sonos. Designed with
privacy at its core, Sonos Voice Control is the simplest way to
control your music, offering complete command of your Sonos system
using only your voice.
“Sonos is committed to delivering new experiences that
effortlessly connect listeners to the content they love.” said
Joseph Dureau, Vice President, Voice Experience, Sonos. “One of the
most natural ways to connect to your music is with your voice, but
when we speak to our customers, we hear that privacy concerns mean
many are choosing not to use voice control. Created purely for
listening on Sonos and designed with privacy at its core, Sonos
Voice control delivers the Sonos app experience using only your
voice.”
Sonos Voice Control works on every voice-capable Sonos speaker,
processing requests entirely on the device. No audio or transcript
is sent to the cloud, stored, listened to or read by anyone.
Available on new voice capable products and as a free update for
existing customers, Sonos Voice Control is compatible with Sonos
Radio, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and Pandora at launch.
More services and markets will follow.
Fast, accurate control of your music and your Sonos
System
Sonos Voice Control finds the music you want to listen to,
processing requests entirely on the device. Local processing
delivers faster response times, and effortless follow-ups. All you
need is one “Hey Sonos” and you can follow up without the need for
additional wake-words. Just like the Sonos app, you can control
music and speakers in any room, easily move music around the home,
save and like your favorite songs to your personal music library
and more.
Natural conversation with Giancarlo Esposito
Sonos Voice Control understands the nuance of human
communication and will respond to natural commands like “turn it
up!”. After a careful search, Sonos chose award-winning actor
Giancarlo Esposito - best known for his roles in Breaking Bad,
Better Call Saul and The Mandalorian - to deliver a familiar voice
for US customers. With careful recording, advanced processing and
mastering, the voice is natural, unobtrusive, yet confident and
engaging. Sonos’ first voice will be joined by others over time as
Sonos continues to expand the experience to new people and
places.
Sonos Voice Control is available in the US starting June 1 and
in France later this year, with additional markets to follow.
