Other Voice assistants are Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri software. However, in India, the technology uses JioPhone. The phone sports a retro numeric keypad and costs about RS. 1,500. It also features a large button that users can press and hold to launch Google Assistant, which can be used to ask questions by searching online, playing music, setting timers, etc.

The JioPhone software speaks aloud to the user in reply and also could refer them to their phones for information.

Those using the JioPhone need not be literate, they need not be able to read or type messages, but they can talk extensively and receive results. The good thing is that technology is being brought to benefit a large number of people in areas where technology would normally not penetrate.

Through the search service, Google is doing much to retain trust and it positively promotes that using the Assistant program. Those who have the Assistant receive unbiased news and information that they count on.
