Need a Personal Assistant? Check Out the New Siri App for iPhone Featuring Speech Recognition from Nuance


How often do we all think “wow, I could really use a personal assistant.”  Well – as of today it’s just an app away on your iPhone 3GS with Siri.   The free app helps accomplish everyday tasks like making restaurant reservations, buying movie tickets, or hailing a taxi – and it’s all powered by the same Nuance voice recognition technology found in Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search!  Just speak to your phone and the Siri app will understand what you say.  For instance, “I’m looking for Avatar movie times.” From there, it’ll execute subsequent actions to pull up movie times in your area and help you buy tickets.   What’s even cooler is that over time, Siri adapts to users’ individual preferences – just like a personal assistant would!

This is an app that we encourage you to check out.  For more details, visit http://www.siri.com/ or just simply download the app in the Apple App Store here.

Great app. Will/does Nuance make iPhone speech SDK available for developers? Thanks.

HI. Is Dragon Dictation available for iPhone users in Malaysia? Please advice. Thanks.

Dragon Dictation is optimized with US English language models that include US English spellings, dialects, accents from different US geographies and regional cultural elements. To provide the best experience in other English speaking parts of the world, we’re working hard to adapt our US English language model with those elements mentioned. We are very committed to serving our international Dragon community and will keep you posted on our progress.
