A Yandex development team announced new improvements to the voice assistant "Alice" and the inclusion of support for the Turkish language in its AI service. This is the first release of Yandex's voice assistant in another language, currently only available in the localized version of "Yandex.Navigator."
It is reported that in the navigation program for the Turkish market, "Alice" can do almost everything that its Russian version can. The voice assistant can find the desired address or location and build a route to it, can inform about the traffic situation, warn about speeding, and guide during the trip.
The Turkish "Alice", like the Russian version, supports free conversation with users on abstract topics. "Alice" in Turkish is not a simple translation. All scenarios, including the assistant's responses to various questions, were specifically written for Turkey, and the Turkish version is voiced by the professional announcer Selay Taşdöğen," said representatives at Yandex.
The voice assistant "Alice" by Yandex in October 2017. The service serves as an alternative to similar solutions from Apple (Siri), Google (Google Assistant), Amazon (Alexa) and is currently available for Windows, Android, and iOS platforms. The assistant, created by domestic programmers, can search for information on the Internet, provide answers to user questions, manage smart home devices, play games, and assist with everyday tasks.
