LG has refined its Magic Remote controller with language recognition so that you can talk to your smart TV remote similar to Siri, the voice assistant feature on iOS.
The remote will be compatible will LG?s 2013 range of smart TVs, Blu-ray players and cinema systems, and will come bundled with the company?s top of the line TVs, while a second slightly larger version without the backlit buttons will be included with the standard TV range.
The LG Magic Remote can do quite a few tricks, with the headline feature being language recognition. The remote has a microphone button. Once you press it you hold the remote a few inches from your mouth and tell it what you?re looking for.
Previous version of the remote also featured voice controls but they were much more basic, as you had to use individual search queries to navigate between items. The new version understands natural language, according to LG. The company says the software will be able to understand when you ask the remote to ?show Gangnam-style videos? and other such commands.
