Sorry Siri: Research Shows Consumers Aren’t Using Voice-Controlled Assistants

March 17, 2016 by Ted Leave a Comment

eMarketer logoThere is a lot of buzz surrounding Amazon’s Echo product, a tabletop computer featuring a voice-controlled digital assistant named Alexa. Alexa will play your favorite music, get your morning news update, find out today’s weather for you, and more. All you have to do is ask Alexa.
