The company has launched a new "Voice on Other" feature for its electric scooters. With the help of this technology, riders will now be able to operate many important functions using only their voice without touching the scooter. Experts believe that this feature can prove to be an important step towards taking electric mobility to the next level.

What is Voice on Another feature?

Voice on Ather is a smart voice command system, which completes various tasks by understanding the rider's voice. Its biggest advantage is that the need to touch the screen repeatedly while riding the scooter will reduce. Through this feature, users can initiate navigation, control music, manage call tasks and even change riding modes. The company aims to make riding more convenient and safe so that the driver's attention remains on the road.

The system will also understand the language of normal conversation

Ather's new voice system works differently from traditional voice assistants. Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology has been used in it, due to which it does not depend only on fixed commands. For example, if a rider says, “Take me to the nearest mall” or “Show me the way home,” the system can understand these instructions and start navigation directly. The biggest benefit of this technology will be given to those people who prefer to communicate in simple language rather than remembering complex commands.

You can change riding mode by voice

Different riding modes like Eco, Ride and Warp are available in Ather scooters. Now there will be no need to tap the screen to change these modes. The rider will be able to change the mode as per his need just by giving voice command. This feature can prove to be very useful during city traffic, highway rides or long journeys. This feature will also help in improving safety in terms of maintaining attention on the road.

Navigation will be easier than before

Many times, finding the address of a new place or changing the route while riding becomes a cause of trouble. Voice on Ather claims to simplify this problem to a great extent. Now the user will not need to type the location on the screen. He will be able to get directions just by saying the name of the place. Apart from this, changing the route, finding nearby locations and other navigation related tasks can also be done through voice.

Music and call control will also be easy

Taking out a mobile phone while riding is considered risky from safety point of view. Keeping this in mind, Ather has also linked music and call control to the voice system. The rider can change songs, play or pause music and also control some calling functions through voice. This will further improve the smart connectivity experience.

Old customers will also get benefit

According to the information given by Ather, this facility will not be limited to new scooters only. The company is making it available in all its Gen-3 and newer models through OTA (Over-The-Air) software update. This means that customers who already have Ather supported scooters will also be able to take advantage of this new technology without any additional hardware changes.

New direction of smart features in electric mobility

India's electric vehicle market is no longer limited to competition only on battery and range. Customers are also now expecting a smart, connected and safe riding experience. Ather's new Voice on Ather feature has been designed keeping this changing demand in mind. If this technology performs as per the company's claims, voice control may become an important part of electric scooters in the future. This step towards making riding more safe, convenient and modern is being considered as a new beginning for the electric two-wheeler industry.
