 "The proliferation of remote banking channels and increased demand by consumers has driven the banking and insurance industries toward speech recognition and text-to-speech," the news source reports. 

 "Customers can use speech recognition and text-to-speech to access accounts, buy or sell shares, complete transactions and more."
