Entertainment Made Easy

Voice control is one of the most impressive features in today's smart homes and home entertainment. Walk into your house, ask it to dim the lights to 50%, and turn on Netflix, and it's done. Would you like to lower the shades? Just ask. 

This feature is a tremendous support until it isn't. You walk into your home, arms laden with groceries, and command the kitchen lights to turn on. Then, you stumble in the dark when nothing happens. You and the family relax in the media room amidst popcorn and sodas, ready for Friday movie night. You tell your 4K UHD TV to turn on and tune into Disney+, and, once again, nothing—no TV, no Disney, no laughter. 

What happened? 

Voice controls aren't always stable; in many cases, they may need a reboot every month or so. Because of this frustration, many people turn to the Comcast Voice Control Remote. Yes, Comcast. Not only do they turn to it, but they love it. 

Let's discover why.

The Experience

Comcast seems to have outdone itself when it invented its latest voice remote. It's stable, reliable, and people love that they can ask what channel a particular show is on, and it pops up on the screen. 

Whether you want to turn on the Discovery Channel, play "The Voice," or watch your favorite sporting event, all you have to do is ask. But it gets even better. 

Have you been wanting to watch a movie starring Scarlett Johansson, but you can't seem to find one? Just ask. Do you want to know what's trending or see if there's a comparable movie to The Electric State? Just ask. Would you like to see a show about zombies or HBO On Demand? Your wish is the Comcast Voice Remote's command.

AI is at the heart of its capabilities. The platform uses it to intelligently determine what someone is asking and provide it in less than a second.  

The Challenge

Like most technology, there can be some challenges in integrating this voice control mechanism into your smart home environment. The World Sound & Vision team developed a workaround, a creative way to leverage the product and build a system using the remote. With 20% of our clients preferring this voice control to others, it's been a labor of love. Once we established this connection, more and more people began asking for the Comcast Voice Remote in their systems. 

Additional Voice Remote Features

In addition to asking about channels, shows, actors, and the like, you can also make requests regarding other equipment and apps. For example, you can find out what's on your DVR and tell it to record a specific show. You can also ask to watch live security camera feeds, a helpful feature when you hear a bump at night or when someone rings the doorbell. 

Is the TV not cooperating? Ask for a system refresh. 

At World of Sound & Vision, we're excited to be able to integrate this product in a manner that our clients genuinely appreciate. It's part of the first-class client experience to which we're committed. Sign up for our newsletter if you'd like to learn more about the latest technology that is making headwinds.
