Telecom Lead India: Nuance Communications is powering
Coupons.com’s Grocery iQ app. Grocery iQ is the latest iPhone and iPad app to
integrate Nuance’s Dragon voice technology though the NDEV Mobile developer
program.
Grocery iQ makes it easy 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 what they want.
By integrating Dragon voice recognition into the iOS
version of Grocery iQ, users can even 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 is consistently recognized as one of the top
lifestyle apps because it automates a task we all do: make a list before
shopping. With voice recognition powered by Dragon now in the iOS version of
Grocery iQ, users can add items to their lists by typing, scanning and now,
speaking,” said Steven Boal, CEO of Coupons.com.
Grocery iQ makes shopping easy, and when coupled with
the power of Dragon, that experience becomes faster, and even fun. 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,” said Matt Revis, vice
president and general manager, handset business, Nuance Mobile.
The Dragon Mobile SDK powers voice recognition and
speech-to-text capabilities of some of the apps on the market, including Price
Check by Amazon, Kraft Foods’ iFood Assistant, Ask for iPhone, Merriam-Webster,
Dictionary.com, OnStar RemoteLink, SayHi Translate, Snapguide and many others.
Nuance’s portfolio of voice and touch solutions are used
by the world’s leading handset, TV and automotive manufacturers and mobile
operators, and are found in billions of phones and millions of automobiles and
consumer electronic devices making them among the most persuasive mobile
