Snapchat has launched speech-recognition lenses that animate snaps in response to simple voice commands. The company has offered audio lenses before but said this was the first time the lenses understood words. For example, users saying “hi” to the new lens will launch an animation surrounding them in a flock of chatty birds. The lenses will also recognise “love”, “yes”, “no” and “wow” and respond with different animations. Snapchat has made lenses around five to six of its most distinctive features and has launched augmented reality lenses and earlier versions of audio lenses.
