We are happy to announce that Smart Octopus Voice Agency has now joined the Open Voice Network.

With the changes being placed on the Smart Speaker manufacturers by the EU we believe that the vision proposed by the Open Voice Network is the right one moving forward. 

They seek to make voice technology worthy of user trust—a task of critical importance as voice emerges as a primary, multi-device portal to the digital and IOT worlds, and as independent, specialist voice assistants take their place next to general-purpose platforms.

The Open Voice Network will achieve its vision through the communal development and adoption of industry standards and usage guidelines, industry education and advocacy initiatives, and the development and documentation of voice-centric value propositions.

Andrew Thomas, founder of Smart Octopus Voice Agency said

“As a small but growing company in the field of Conversational AI & Voice Tech which is actively engaged in voice application design and development, and advising companies on their voice strategy, endorses the objectives and the work of the Open Voice Network.

We decided to sign up to be friends of the network and will be actively offering to participate in their work wherever possible.”
