How Does ‘Voice on Ather’ Work?
Key features like the navigation, calls and media, and vehicle settings can be controlled through voice commands and is powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) specifically designed and developed to understand Indian Accents and Dialects. This feature enables natural conversational voice commands rather than sticking to fixed keywords.
Riders can ask questions like “How far is the nearest charging station?” or “What’s the ETA to home?”. The vehicle settings can also be adjusted via voice which includes switching traction control modes and adjusting screen brightness level.
