According to Qualcomm press release, the platform aims to integrate hardware and software required to help original equipment manufacturers (OEM) make smart speakers faster.
Anthony Murray, senior vice president and general manager, voice and music, Qualcomm Technologies International said, "Demand for voice control and voice-enabled services in the home is rapidly gaining traction, and our audio platform is now designed to offer greater flexibility for manufacturers wanting to deliver highly differentiated user experiences taking advantage of the power and personalisation capabilities of Cortana."
According to Microsoft's Jordi Ribas, the Microsoft Cortana powered Qualcomm chip housing smart speakers will augment the creativity and productivity of users.
The first batch of Qualcomm and Cortana powered smart speakers are expected to come out in the first half of this year.
Microsoft at CES killed the rumors that it will be axing the consumer facing portion of its Digital Assistant Cortana. The company confirmed that Cortana will be infact made available for more devices in 2018.
The company with support from both existing and new partners will continue to bring Cortana to more and more devices and places like offices, homes etc. The company plans to bring Cortana everywhere were it can be needed as assistance on all your devices be it Xbox, PC, Mobile, Mixed Reality and more.
These details were confirmed in a blog post by the Redmond Giant killing any concerns surrounding the Digital Assistant. The company revealed that it will be working with some of its design partners like Allwinner, Synaptics, TONLY and Qualcomm which plan to deliver devices with a high powered voice first assistant.
These devices will be powered with Microsoft’s Digital Assistant Cortana to bring in the high powered voice assistant to consumers. For this to happen Microsoft is making it easier for OEMs and developers to build for Cortana by bringing Cortana Devices SDK.
The developers would need to sign up to start building with Devices SDK which would be helping users in accessing their Digital Assistant Skills across all devices.
