SoundHound (NASDAQ:SOUN) is chasing a bigger prize than voice recognition: becoming the invisible interface inside cars, restaurants, and TVs. If conversations can replace taps and apps, the company could move closer to the transaction itself. The opportunity is significant, but Apple’s distribution advantage makes this one of the most important interface battles in AI.
