Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your voice as biometric data, and how marketers are using it to manipulate you Only three decades ago, it was inconceivable that virtually entire populations would be carrying around wireless phones wherever they went, or that peoples’ exact locations could be tracked by those devices. We now take both for granted. Even just a decade ago the idea that individuals’ voices could be used to identify and draw inferences about them as they shopped or interacted with retailers seemed like something out of a science fiction novel. Yet a new business sector is emerging to do exactly that. The first in-depth examination of the voice intelligence industry, The Voice Catchers exposes how artificial intelligence is enabling personalized marketing and discrimination through voice analysis. Amazon and Google have numerous patents pertaining to voice profiling, and even now their smart speakers are extracting and using voice prints for identification and more. Customer service centers are already approaching every caller based on what they conclude a caller’s voice reveals about that person’s emotions, sentiments, and personality, often in real time. In fact, many scientists believe that a person’s weight, height, age, and race, not to mention any illnesses they may have, can also be identified from the sound of that individual’s voice. Ultimately not only marketers, but also politicians and governments, may use voice profiling to infer personal characteristics for selfish interests and not for the benefit of a citizen or of society as a whole. Leading communications scholar Joseph Turow places the voice intelligence industry in historical perspective, explores its contemporary developments, and offers a clarion call for regulating this rising surveillance regime.
Download or read book The Human Voice written by Anne Karpf and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has the female voice deepened over the last fifty years? Who talks more, men or women? How can a baby in the womb distinguish between different voices? The human voice is the personal and social glue that binds us, and the most important sound in our lives. The moment we open our mouth we leak information about our biological, psychological and social status. Babies use it to establish emotional ties and acquire language, adults to decode mood and meaning in intimate and professional relationships. Far from being rendered redundant by modern technology, the human voice has enormous and enduring significance.
Download or read book Philosophy of Lyric Voice written by Karen Simecek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carefully considering the difference in the philosophical potential of page poetry and performance poetry, Karen Simecek argues that it is only by considering them side by side that the unique cognitive value of each can be realised. Focusing on spoken word poetry reveals the importance of voice and embodied words to the differing epistemic rewards of engaging with contemporary works of poetry in both private reading and live performance. This concept of embodied voice progresses a new line of thinking in the cognitivism debate and unlocks the philosophical value of engaging with poetry. Simecek's discussion of performed poetry also advances discussions of affect and experience in contemporary analytic aesthetics which raise new insights and connections within the field. The moral significance of the differing effects of poetry finds comprehensive articulation through a rich philosophical analysis of the thoughts and affects which arise in particular contexts. Simecek concludes that when page poetry is treated as paradigmatic, this enables reflection in the singular, whereas taking poetry in live performance as paradigmatic enables reflection on what is shared and shareable with others.

Download or read book Sound Effects The Object Voice in Fiction written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound Effects combines literary criticism and psychoanalytic theory in eleven original articles which explore the potential of the object voice as an analytic tool to approach fiction. Alongside the gaze, the voice is Jacques Lacan’s original addition to the set of partial objects of classical psychoanalysis, and has only recently been theorised by Mladen Dolar in A Voice and Nothing More (2006). With notable exceptions like Garrett Stewart’s Reading Voices (1990), the sonorous element in fiction has received little scholarly attention in comparison with poetry and drama. Sound Effects is a contribution to the burgeoning field of sound studies, and sets out to fill this gap through selective readings of English and American fiction of the last two hundred years. Contributors: Fred Botting, Natalja Chestopalova, Mladen Dolar, Matt Foley, Alex Hope, Phillip Mahoney, Sylvia Mieszkowski, Jorge Sacido-Romero, Marcin Stawiarski, Garrett Stewart, Peter Weise, and Bruce Wyse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many reasons for writing a book; this one was conceived and devel oped mainly for two. First, a new area has emerged from within the forensic sciences-that of forensic phonetics. As with all new specialties, it is necessary to define it, identify its boundaries, justify its importance and compile a list of the elements it encompasses. This book attempts to outline these several rela tionships. Second, over the past decade I have become fascinated with forensics in general and the rapidly expanded subarea of forensic phonetics in particular. Admittedly, the latter field is one that is not as yet sufficiently appreciated-and much more needs to be known about its nature and extent. Yet, I have found it to be a most enjoyable area of study and my attempts to describe its domains were quite informative. It was especially interesting to struggle with the interfaces between forensic phonetics and related fields, and discover how they overlap. Only a few comments will be made about the book's contents here in the preface. For one thing, they are described in some detail in the first chapter.

Download or read book Recommendations for the Use of Voice Bots in Call Centers of the German Automotive Industry written by Laura Dahlhaus and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,0, Westfälische Hochschule Gelsenkirchen, Bocholt, Recklinghausen, language: English, abstract: Due to the changed conditions for companies and users, voice bots are becoming more and more relevant across industries. They offer a solution to the problem of ever-increasing customer expectations and also show a solution for companies to deal with the increasing number of channels while maintaining the same budget. Both, the places of integration and the application areas for voice bots are diverse. Especially for the channel call center, which is often under cost pressure due to increasing customer expectations. Using the example of the German automotive industry, the aim of the work is to find out, how far the use of voice bots in call centers has already progressed and which tasks voice bots can take over from human agents. Exemplary use cases (which are the equivalent from the company's point of view to the term "touchpoint" used from the customer's point of view) for voice bots in the call center should be elaborated and tested for their voice bot suitability and universal evaluation criteria for the selection of further use cases should be developed. This should enable each automotive manufacturer to individually assess their own use cases in the channel call center in terms of the voice bot suitability. Finally, a guideline has to be drawn to guide the German automobile manufacturers in promoting voice bots' use in their call centers. To find out which general framework conditions, prerequisites, and potentials voice bots have, the focus has to be put on these items at the beginning of the work. Based on this, the topic of call centers along the customer journey will be developed to get an impression of the importance and the areas of application for call centers in the different journey phases. Dealing with the exemplarily selected automotive industry, industry-specific peculiarities are thematized to design an expert survey and a further call center study to find out whether and for what purpose voice bots are already being used in the call centers and where further applications may be. In addition, current implementation barriers and success factors are identified to explain the status quo. For the expert surveys, various automotive industry experts, the voice bot technology supplying industry, and independent call center and technology experts will be interviewed for an objective view of the questions. Based on the results obtained, influencing factors for voice bot suitability and a procedural guideline is developed.
