creative super powers to make magical meaningful connections with a child? ◦ Yes it does. • Will it help make us the most admired creative company in the UK? ◦ Yes it will. • Does it bring together tech and storytelling in a brilliant way? ◦ By jove it does. • Is it in line with our brand value of surprising, fun, bold and exuberant. ◦ Fuck yes it is. • Of course we should do this, but we should do it smart and good.
Hybrid Approach Only listen to certain *key* words • Rhyming words trigger false positives • Speaking quickly is a common point of failure Constrain Phonemes into a grammar • Stumbling over a sentence requires the whole sentence being read again • CPU / Memory intensive for longer sentences Mix and match between grammar and keyword spotting • Unreliable creation syntax • Stumbling grammars were still a failure point • Still trying to do too much
on 10 English speaking subjects, 6 with US accents 96% success rate on our simpler grammar modes Very confident in tech and our ability to use UX and content to overcome barriers. Tech is not the blocker any more.

lost my voice once, who knows how? I searched, all day and night. Perhaps I moo, just like a cow? MOO, MOO, MOO, MOOOOOOOOO Hmmm. That doesn’t sound quite right. I lost my voice once, just like that. I searched, all day and night. Perhaps I meow, just like a cat? MEOW, MEOW, MEOW MEEEEEOOOW Hmmm. That doesn’t sound quite right. Repeat At last I found my voice, hooray! I had searched day and night. My voice knows lots of words to say: WIBBLE, WOBBLE, BLIM BLAM, TIGGLE-TAGGLE FLUBBER-BLUBBER They sound exactly right! Share your silliest noise! The day I lost my voice

We will promote VoiceBook to our existing customers mainly using non-paid channels and work hard to build a relationship with Apple and arrange strong PR. If time allows we’d like to ship with a feature in the app that will easily allow users to record themselves and share the recording.
