14 DAY TRIAL // Nuance Communications, the company responsible for the best voice recognition technology out there, has announced Dragon Go!, an iPhone app that understands what you want by just listening to your voice.
Dragon Go! is truly a revolutionary application. It gives users immediate access to web content as they deserve it.
For example, you can say “concert dates for Kings of Leon” and Dragon Go! takes you to the LiveNation tab to lock in tickets.
You can flip to the media tab to listen to Kings of Leon on Pandora Radio or Last.fm, and it even gives you a handy link to download the album “Come Around Sundown."
If, for example, you want to see the latest player stats on ESPN.com, just say “baseball fantasy stats.”
These are only a few examples. Watch the video embedded below (or at the nuancemobilelife site) to see an infinite number of ways Dragon Go! can be used.
According to its makers, Dragon Go! marks a generational leap in the mobile content experience to pick up where text-based search leaves off.
“Not only does Dragon Go! hear what people are searching for, but it understands what they want, giving them direct access to relevant results from 180 of the most trusted and reliable content providers,” says Nuance.
Dragon Go! offers up content indexed by the likes of AccuWeather, Bing, ESPN, Facebook, Fandango, iTunes, Last.fm, LiveNation, Milo.com, OpenTable, Pandora internet radio, Rotten Tomatoes, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yelp, YouTube, Yahoo! and others.
And new content providers are added constantly, the developer says.
The app combines Nuance’s flagship voice recognition technology, Dragon, with natural language understanding, analytical tools, and even AI elements.
“The result is an app that understands the intent of a query, and what a person wants to do – be it getting restaurant reviews, buying movie tickets, shopping, finding directions, listening to their favorite music, and more,” says Nuance.
