The Platform
– With SemVox ODP S3, the most powerful platform for proactive AI-based interaction, the new Audi A8 transforms into a highly connected and intelligent assistant.
More than 200 functions in the new Audi A8 can be controlled by voice. ODP S3 seamlessly integrates voice commands with other input options like touchscreens. Thanks to ODP S3’s intelligence, the Audi A8 understands exactly what the user means and engages in an active dialog, making the “Audi seamless connect experience” a reality, also for voice control.
Perfect Coordination
– In perfect harmony with a robust speech recognizer, ODP S3 serves as the central platform for user interactions in the new Audi A8. Whether managing navigation, accessing calendar functions, writing messages, or finding a restaurant, the natural, fluid voice control powered by ODP S3 is unique worldwide. It liberates users from rigid menu structures and limited commands.
The Functionalities
– SemVox ODP S3 is fully offline-capable, enabling unrestricted operation of vehicle functions without an internet connection. When connected to the internet, the system can download and install new features from the cloud at any time without requiring a workshop visit.
“Owners and drivers of a premium vehicle also expect a premium user interface. For us, SemVox ODP S3 is the ideal solution for intelligent and comfortable voice control in the car,” says Jens Halfmann, Project Manager for Voice Control A8 at Audi AG.
The Dialog Manager
– The SemVox dialog manager learns autonomously, asks clarifying questions when necessary, and offers contextually meaningful options. For example, when the command “Call Peter!” is given, ODP S3 can analyze past interactions and suggest the most frequently contacted “Peter” from the phonebook. ODP S3 also allows users to interact across different menu areas. For instance, a contact can be called from the phonebook, and their associated address can then be set as the navigation destination: “Take me there!” – No navigation system currently offers a more efficient or natural user experience.
Maximum Capabilities
– “With ODP S3, we optimally cover all scenarios in the vehicle. The artificial intelligence in our software platform enables unprecedented freedom in communicating with the vehicle. Thanks to SemVox ODP S3’s remarkable flexibility, vehicles and other systems can become intelligent in virtually any language and on any platform,” says Dr. Norbert Pfleger, CEO of SemVox.
