Coupons.com Adds Nuance Voice Feature
Nuance has announced that Coupons.com's Grocery iQ app now features Dragon voice recognition powered by Nuance, with the introduction of Version 2.6 for iOS. Grocery iQ is the latest iPhone and iPad app to integrate Nuance's Dragon voice technology though the NDEV Mobile developer program.
Grocery iQ enables users to create, manage, and share shopping lists as well as find and use coupons. Free to download, the app lets users add items to their shopping lists by speaking. By integrating Dragon voice recognition into the iOS version of Grocery iQ, users can dictate multiple items in a continuous list for automatic recognition and addition to their list. Users can also add items by typing or scanning barcodes on product packaging using the camera on their mobile device.
"Grocery iQ makes shopping easy, and when coupled with the power of Dragon, that experience becomes faster, and even fun," said Matt Revis, vice president and general manager, handset business, Nuance Mobile, in a statement. "The NDEV Mobile developer program continues to drive app innovation across a broad range of industries, and we're pleased Grocery iQ has selected Dragon technology to further enhance the user experience on the iOS platform."
Nuance's Dragon Mobile SDK is available as part of the NDEV Mobile developer program that lets developers rapidly bring voice-enabled apps to market, even if they have never previously implemented speech technology. The Dragon Mobile SDK powers the voice recognition and speech-to-text capabilities of some of the other apps on the market, including Price Check by Amazon, Kraft Foods' iFood Assistant, Ask for iPhone, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, OnStar RemoteLink, SayHi Translate, and Snapguide.
