Cambridge speech technology business VocalIQ has been acquired by Apple for a sum between $50-$100 million. VocalIQ, a speech-related artificial intelligence specialist, says its technology is critical to the delivery of the Internet of Things. It recently opened a satellite office in San Francisco to support its Silicon Valley and North American clients and is preparing for a public technology launch in the current quarter. Apple has just taken leases on new space in San Francisco and Cambridge. No comment was available from either VocalIQ or Apple at the time of writing.
