Chuan added that Xiaomi started working on AI speech recognition three years back, and it lets users control and interact with the TV. Xiaomi revealed that it uses Sogou ASR speech recognition technology which is claimed to have an accuracy of up to 97 percent.
Unfortunately, the Chinese company hasn't revealed plans to launch the new Mi TV 4A series outside China.
