Nuance Communications NUAN today announced the availability of
Nuance's Dragon Assistant Beta, a voice assistant application for the
Intel-inspired Ultrabook ™, the first offering resulting from the two
companies' strategic collaboration announcement at CES 2012. Dadi Perlmutter,
Intel chief product officer, demonstrated Dragon Assistant Beta today at the
Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. The Dell® XPS13 Ultrabook will be
among the first PCs to ship with Dragon Assistant Beta in Q4 2012.
Dragon Assistant uses Nuance's core Dragon voice technology and innovative
natural language understanding capabilities to provide people with an easy and
intuitive way to engage and interact with their devices. Simply say “Hello
Dragon” to awaken Dragon Assistant, and from there, just speak to search the
web for content, information and shopping; access, discover and play music;
check and reply to email; and, listen to and update social media statuses.
Dragon Assistant also provides direct access to the most popular content
providers for content on the web. For instance, people can say “Search YouTube
for Justin Bieber.” When finished using Dragon Assistant, simply say “Go to
sleep” for the application to stop listening.
Intel also today announced the availability of the Intel Perceptual Computing
SDK 2013 Beta, which includes the voice SDK components from Nuance, giving
developers the ability to leverage the power of Dragon to create applications
and experiences that drive natural, intuitive voice interactions.
