[코리아타임스 영어뉴스로 '진짜 외신' 읽기]


WASHINGTON (AFP) — In a world suddenly fearful of touch, voice technology is getting a fresh look.

갑자기 터치가 두려워진 세상 속에 음성 기술은 새로운 주목을 얻고 있다.


Voice-activated systems such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple's Siri have seen strong growth in recent years, and the virus pandemic could accelerate that, analysts say.

구글 어시스턴트, 아마존 알렉사, 애플의 시리 같은 음성인식 시스템은 최근 몇 년간 엄청난 성장을 보여왔고, 바이러스의 대유행이 이들의 성장을 가속할 수 있다고 분석가들은 말한다.


Voice assistants are not only answering queries but also being used for smart home control and medical applications which could see increased interest as people seek to limit personal contact.

음성 비서들은 질의응답과 쇼핑뿐 아니라 스마트홈 제어 및 의료 애플리케이션에도 이용되고 있는데, 사람들이 개인적인 접촉을 제한하자 이에 관한 관심이 커지는 것을 볼 수 있다.


"Voice has already made significant inroads into the smart home space and voice control can mean avoiding commonly touched surfaces around the home from smartphones, to TV remotes, light switches, thermostats, door handles and more," said analyst Jonathan Collins of ABI Research.

ABI리서치의 조너선 콜린스 애널리스트는 "음성은 이미 스마트 홈에 상당히 많이 진출했으며, 음성 인식은 스마트폰, TV 리모컨, 조명 스위치, 자동 온도조절기, 도어 핸들 등에 이르기까지 가정 내 공통적으로 접촉되는 표면을 피하는 것을 의미한다"고 말했다.


The pandemic is likely to provide "additional motivation and incentive for voice control in the home that will help drive awareness and adoption for a range of additional smart home devices and applications," Collins said.

콜린스는 "바이러스의 대유행은 다양한 스마트 홈 기기 및 애플리케이션에 대한 인식과 채택을 촉진하는 데 도움이 되는 가정 내 음성 인식 시스템을 위한 추가적인 동기부여와 유인을 제공할 것"이라고 설명했다.


ABI estimates that voice control device shipments for smart home devices hit 141 million last year, and in 2020 will grow globally by close to 30 percent.

스마트 홈 기기의 음성 인식 시스템 출하량은 지난해 1억1400만대를 기록했으며, 2020년에는 전 세계적으로 30% 가까이 성장할 것으로 ABI리서치는 추산하고 있다.


For the broader market of voice assistants, Juniper Research estimates 4.2 billion devices in use this year, growing to 8.4 billion by 2024, with much of the interactions on smartphones.

주니퍼 리서치는 음성 비서로 시장을 넓히면, 올해 42억 대의 기기가 음성 비서를 사용 중이며, 2024년에는 84억 대까지 늘어나며 스마트폰에서 상호작용의 많은 부분을 차지할 것으로 전망하고 있다.
