SOLUTION
Right during project preparation we chose the SpeechKit technology for the implementation of the voice part, which was gaining popularity by that time with the appearance of Alice.
Development of the project took more than six months. The project acquired new features over time, which made it possible to greatly expand the services offered by our clients.
The main difficulty was solving problems with voice control on mobile devices. As the project works from a browser, it was necessary to bypass the limitations of mobile platforms in some cases.
