Flipkart's Chief Product and Technology Officer Jayendran Venugopal said, "Video, Vernacular and Voice based technologies are critical to address the challenges associated with the adoption of e-commerce in India. We have seen a tremendous interest in our videos and Vernacular measures and the next step in this direction is to develop the ability to identify and communicate in the e-commerce space.

 

He said, 'Flipkart's technology team traveled across the country to understand the various contexts related to voice recognition and ability to communicate and made the necessary changes to identify different forms of Indian languages ​​and to respond in the same language. . Flipkart spent five months on-the-ground assessing various cities and towns and gathering the necessary materials, which eventually led to the development of voice assistance for the grocery sector. With the help of this research, the company found out what necessary features the customer wants in view of easy services with the help of voice.

 

Flipkart says that voice assistance will make a customer's purchase more personalized and the services it receives will become easier. In addition to understanding the changes in voice in English and Hindi, it can easily understand mixed languages ​​(Hinglish etc.) and the company says that with the help of this, the customer will experience the same way as he would from a shopkeeper. Are communicating Manish Kumar, senior vice-president (grocery, general merchandise and furniture) at Flipkart, says, "Voice-based shopping is a natural process and we want to give our customers a conversational experience in a colloquial approach."
