Nuance has rolled out a new update for its iPhone application Dragon Go! today, which brings with it a number of new features, including a few new things that even Apple’s own Siri can’t compete with.
Within the new update for Dragon Go!, support for Expedia travel information has been added. This enables you to ask for travel information, including flight times and details, which Siri has problems trying to provide users with. This feature is particularly useful for frequent travelers who need quick and accurate travel information on the go.
Expanded Service Integration
Other new features rolled out in the new update include support for a wide range of services such as AccuWeather, Ask.com, Bing, Dictionary.com, ESPN, Facebook, Fandango, Last.fm, LiveNation, Milo.com, and OpenTable. These integrations make Dragon Go! a versatile tool for various needs. For instance, you can now check the weather, look up definitions, get sports updates, and even make restaurant reservations all through voice commands.
Additionally, the update includes support for popular music and entertainment services like Pandora, Spotify, and Last.fm, allowing users to easily find and play their favorite songs. For movie enthusiasts, Rotten Tomatoes integration provides quick access to movie reviews and ratings, while Fandango helps you find showtimes and purchase tickets.
Enhanced User Experience
The update also brings support for social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, making it easier to post updates and interact with friends. Wikipedia integration allows for quick access to a wealth of information, and Wolfram|Alpha provides computational knowledge for more complex queries. Yelp helps users find local businesses and read reviews, while YouTube integration makes it simple to search for and watch videos.
As well as support for the popular Hulu service, which can now be used with Dragon Go!, users can enjoy streaming their favorite TV shows and movies with just a voice command. This makes Dragon Go! not only a productivity tool but also a source of entertainment.
Give it a go for yourself as it’s free to download from the iTunes app store. Be aware though that it does require network connectivity, either WiFi or 3G/EDGE, and also iOS 4 or later. Enjoy!
