Voice-Assisted Technology

Technology that uses voice recognition and natural language processing to enable users to interact with devices, applications, and services through spoken commands. Voice-assisted technology encompasses smart speakers, virtual assistants on phones, and voice-enabled appliances. For people with cognitive, motor, or visual disabilities, VAT can serve as an assistive tool that reduces reliance on screen-based interfaces and supports independence in daily tasks such as setting reminders, managing appointments, finding information, and controlling smart home devices.
