The UK Government Digital Service has been employing a small team of experts over the past six months to trial a scheme to make more information available to the public using voice-recognition technology. 12,000 pieces of information are now available via the use of Alexa or Google Home devices. Said head of GOV.UK: “We want to simplify people’s interactions with the government, making information clear and accessible to everyone.” It is expected that more government services will soon be searchable and accessed by voice.
