Arabic-speaking smart TVs to debut in Saudi Arabia
The world’s first AI-powered TVs with Arabic voice recognition will debut in Saudi Arabia, South Korea’s LG Electronics has announced. The new range of AI-focused TV models are the 2019 version of OLED AI ThinQ and NanoCell AI ThinQ. ThinQ is the home appliance giant’s latest brand based on built-in AI operating systems that enables users to interact with the TV directly via voice.
“This is the world’s first TV models supporting Arabic voice commands, as we’ve caught the local demands of these kinds of AI-focused language service,” Lee Jongmin, a senior communication manager at LG Electronics in Seoul, was quoted by Arab News.
Arab consumers can ask, “What’s the weather like in Jeddah?” or “Let me know the recipe for a kebab,” and the TVs recognise the questions in Arabic and provide related content on the screen, Lee said.
Users can speak into the microphone on the TV remote for a variety of functions, including search, volume control, channel selection, image and sound-quality adjustment.
