Stages in the creation process
Method, imagination and technology
01
Your project
A 'voice app' provides your customers with a new way of interacting. A voice app should be experience.Our agency works with you throughout the research phase of your project, helping you to identify the need you’re seeking to address, the usage context and the target audience for your application.
Do you want to design a skill for Alexa or an Action for Google Assistant? We’re here to help you.
02
Designing your voice app
This is the most complex part of the project process. Engaging interactions start with a well-designed voice experience.
Our « Voice User Interface » expertise will make your interactions with your users a success.We help you to design your user stories and chat scripts At the end of this stage, you’ll be able to identify your future users’ «intents and « utterances .This information will form the key starting point for developing your voice application.
03
Creating delight
All assistants use a synthesized voice to communicate. Voice synthesis is able to create an infinite variety of phases from the same building blocks, known as phonemes .
This solution has its limits when transcribing complex dialogues that last more than a minute. To create a genuine identity and emotional attachment for your application, we work with leading studios and actors chosen for the quality of their voices to embody your application.Because an uninspiring voice application is a wasted opportunity
04
Developing and hosting your application
Alexa and Google Home’s artificial intelligence is limited to understanding and transcribing conversation in a format that can be read by software.
After that, it’s our job to develop an experience and facilitate a conversation that leverages your data. Webhooks, Node.js, APIs, AWS, Lambda and Google Platform terms may be double dutch to you... but here at ShirkaLAB they’re our native language!The ShirkaLAB agency is selected by Amazon and certified «Alexa Skill Builder»
05
Publish, analyze, monetize
A working voice application needs to be a good product, but for it to stand out among thousands of applications... well, that’s where the professionals come in.
Right from submission of the project, a diversified marketing plan is put in place, starting with the choice of visuals and the product’s name and description. ShirkaLAB works with you to create and devise your campaigns (Ads, emailing, social networks) and set up event mechanisms (PR, mini-sites).
Our Voice App Perf Platform enables you to monitor real-time changes in your voice applications. The Voice App Perf consolidates all the metrics of the #GoogleAssistant and #Alexa voice app stores in US, UK, DE, FR, ES & IT.
