Aircraft maintenance
Cabin defects, such as broken seats, can cause major customer dissatisfaction. It is often the task of busy cabin crew to report such defects while serving customers and minimising the aircraft downtime. With CabinWorks, Speechgrinder’s voice-enabled cabin management tool, airline cabin crew can report cabin defects by simply describing the defect to their mobile phone. This not only minimises aircraft downtime and gives time for better customer service, but also improves the quality of defect reports, thus facilitating the work of cabin engineers.

Smart Home
Voice-controlled speaker
Although voice-controlled speaker products are widely available for English-speaking audiences as well as a few other major languages, alternatives for less widely spoken languages are lacking. Speechgrinder’s voice technology makes voice-controlled home speaker applications for smaller languages, such as Finnish and other Nordic languages, possible. Custom speech recognition makes Speechgrinder’s voice-controlled speaker private and secure.

Customer Service
Customer feedback in self-service restaurants
Self-service restaurants aren’t able to receive natural feedback from a waiter enquiring a customer about their level of satisfaction. Using Speechgrinder’s voice technology, a small voice-enabled device can be set up to receive customer feedback automatically. The device can be placed on each table, near the exits or onto a buzzer device that’s given to the customers during the order. Speechgrinder’s natural language processing technology automatically categorises the feedback based on its content as well as to extract its sentiment. Feedback can be processed and visualised in real time to both the restaurant staff and the management.

E-commerce
Shopping list creation
Online shopping can be tedious; complicated search boxes and links of complex product hierarchies can make shopping time-consuming and laborious. With Speechgrinder, customers only need to vocalise the names of the products they wish to buy to add the purchasable items into their virtual shopping carts.

Health
Meal tracking
Keeping track of what you eat is an efficient way to lose weight or to stay in shape. However, tracking everything by writing or typing can be an extremely tedious task. Snackchat’s mobile meal-logging app — the world’s first voice-based meal logging application — that uses Speechgrinder’s voice technology makes meal tracking a breeze. Our analytics show that given a choice between typing or speaking, users prefer to use voice in 93% of the cases. Snapchat’s meal-tracking app has off-the-charts retention rates with over a quarter of users still actively tracking their meals after a month from app installation.
