How to learn more about Voice Services
Step 1: Get at least ONE Voice Service
As there are multiple Voice Services to choose from, you need to purchase at least one. As each Service will have its own strengths and weaknesses, you might want to consider purchase more than one Vendors to get an appreciation of the differences
Step 2: Learn the commands for the Voice Service
Each Voice Service has its own "language", so take some time to learn the nuances of each Service. Recommended links with a full list of commands include:
