What I don’t understand though is that if they’re not building their own hardware, how is it actually going to work? You’ll always have to say “Hey Siri”, “OK Google” or “Alexa” surely? Those tech giants aren’t suddenly going to allow a custom wake word just for the BBC.
I wonder if the voice recognition tech is third party or done by R&D. It’s a mammoth undertaking if the latter, although could work well if they focus on regional accents in Blighty.

The BBC is planning to launch a digital voice assistant next year, the corporation has announced.
It will not be a hardware device in its own right but is being designed to work on all smart speakers, TVs and mobiles.
