Apple has Acquired a Startup located in United Kingdom that has developed a Natuaral language API to allow computers and people to have a more natural dialogue, The start called VocalIQ. The company has developed a self-learning Dialogue API, The API is based on the 10 years of natural language research, belief tracking, decision making and message generation, says VocalIQ's website.

We always stay unaware of how Apple use the Companies that its purchases, But it is predictable that Apple will use the API to make its personal assistant, Siri. it is also believed that Apple could use it for its Car Project in applications or in other things.

VocalIQ has teased virtual assistants like Siri on their blog post, says the virtual assistant a "toy" unable to understand context. The Major difference between virtual assistants like Cortana and Siri and VocalIQ is the ability of learning.

This technology can change the way we connect with machines, As all the existing assistants only understand and listen which is pre-programmed in them, they don't understand anything which is not in their programming. Consumers will be able to talk freely with their assistants about movies, songs, places and other things and this technology is going to rule the upcoming decade.

Apple confirmed that it has acquired VocalIQ saying " Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans. "

Hope this technology enters the market very soon. Do you want this technology integrated in your iPhone.
