Around 2011, [[Siri]] emerged on Apple iPhones as the first voice assistant accessible to consumers. This innovation led to a dramatic shift to building voice-first computing architectures. [[PS4]] was released by Sony in North America in 2013 (70+ million devices), Amazon released the [[Amazon Echo]] in 2014 (30+ million devices), [[Microsoft]] released Cortana (2015 - 400 million Windows 10 users), Google released [[Google Assistant]] (2016 - 2 billion active monthly users on Android phones), and [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] released [[HomePod]] (2018 - 500,000 devices sold and 1 billion devices active with iOS/Siri). These shifts, along with advancements in cloud infrastructure (e.g. [[Amazon Web Services]]) and [[codecs]], have solidified the voice computing field and made it widely relevant to the public at large.
