Voice is the easiest and most natural way to interact with technology, but when it comes to voice navigation, addresses are frustrating for people to use, and are limiting the potential of new mobility solutions
The only addressing system designed specifically for voice
Street addresses weren’t designed for voice entry
Some addresses are difficult to distinguish between
Lawn Road and Lorne Road sound exactly the same.
Numbers in street names are confusing
Computers mistake ‘240, First Street’ with ‘241st Street’.
Duplicate addresses cause navigation errors
There are 14 different Church Roads in London, and 632 Juarez Streets in Mexico City.
There are places we simply can't talk about
Beaches, construction sites and specific entrances to large buildings don't have an address.
Addresses in other languages are hard to pronounce
How do you say Niederkirchnerstraße if you can't speak German?
