WorldDAB helps listeners to find favourite stations using voice commands

03.05.2024 - WorldDAB News

WorldDAB – the global industry forum for DAB+ digital radio – has produced new guidelines for broadcasters and manufacturers on the use of phonemes and aliases, which allow listeners to find their favourite stations using voice commands more easily.
