US Provider of Specialty Consumer Electronics Accessories Company - Customer Case Study

The Big Button Universe, a US provider of specialty consumer electronics accessories, needed a way to make TV controls easier for low-vision, baby boomer, senior and memory‑impaired users. To evaluate and develop voice-to-command translation for a smart TV remote, The Big Button Universe engaged SOFTEQ for R&D and voice recognition expertise.

SOFTEQ researched integration options and designed a learning-capable voice-recognition approach that maps spoken input into TV commands, delivering a validated technical plan and prototype guidance. The engagement positioned The Big Button Universe to deploy a voice-enabled remote that responds to senior users’ spoken commands and improves accessibility; while no public quantitative metrics were provided, SOFTEQ’s R&D produced concrete integration recommendations to move the product toward production.
