Following on from its launch in July on iOS Nuance has today launched
the their new free Dragon Go! application for Google’s Android mobile
OS. The new Dragon Go! app combines Nuance’s Dragon voice recognition
and natural language understanding with artificial intelligence
technology. Providing a voice recognition app for Android, that not only
Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile explains:
“Legacy
search applications are fading in mobile. Consumers want immediate and
direct access to content – not scrolling, hunting or pecking through
search links or filtered content,”-”Dragon Go! gives people the freedom
to speak freely, and magically get the content they want.
Dragon
Go! features the largest direct-access content ecosystem in mobile
today. Consumers can say virtually anything and immediately jump to
relevant destinations.”
For example, here are a few phrases you can use to find information quickly:
“What’s
the best Thai food near me,” and instantly be taken to the Yelp tab for
local reviews, or flip over to the Phone tab to quickly call to find
out about any specials on the menu that evening.
“Reservations
for two at Slanted Door in San Francisco,” to be taken directly to
OpenTable to book a table for dinner, or scroll over to the Maps tab to
find out how to get there from where you are now.
Nuance’s new Dragon Go! app is now available for free on the Android Market.
