Nunace, the voice recognition specialists, have introduced their new Dragon TV product today, which has been created to bring voice recognition support to connected TVs. The new Dragon TV product has been designed for OEMs and service operators to provide the ability to deliver TVs, set-top boxes, and applications that let consumers find and experience content with Nuance’s leading voice technologies.
Allowing users to be able to talk to their TV sets and ask questions, rather than have to search for answers themselves.
For example: “Go to PBS”, “What’s on Bravo at 9 p.m. tonight?”, “When is Ellen on?”, “Watch Dexter on DVR”, “Find comedies with Vince Vaughn”, “Play David Guetta on Music Choice”.
Mike Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile explains:
“Traditional search on televisions is tedious and amazingly outdated,” – “Dragon TV brings an amazing voice experience, similar to what people do every day on their phones and in their cars, directly to the living room.”
Enhanced User Experience
Dragon TV is currently available for TV, device OEMs, operators, and developers, supporting all major TV, set-top box, remote control, and application platforms, including Linux, Android, and iOS. This broad compatibility ensures that a wide range of devices can benefit from the advanced voice recognition capabilities that Dragon TV offers. By integrating Dragon TV, manufacturers and service providers can significantly enhance the user experience, making it more intuitive and engaging.
The ability to control the TV with voice commands means that users no longer have to fumble with remote controls or navigate through complex menus. This is particularly beneficial for elderly users or those with disabilities, who may find traditional remote controls challenging to use. Voice commands can simplify the process of finding and enjoying content, making television more accessible to everyone.
Future of Voice Recognition in Home Entertainment
The introduction of Dragon TV marks a significant step forward in the evolution of home entertainment. As voice recognition technology continues to improve, we can expect even more sophisticated interactions with our devices. Future developments may include more natural language processing capabilities, allowing for even more complex and nuanced commands. For instance, users might be able to ask their TV to “Show me the latest action movies released this year” or “Find episodes of Friends where Ross and Rachel are together.”
Moreover, the integration of voice recognition with other smart home devices could lead to a more interconnected and seamless home environment. Imagine being able to control your lights, thermostat, and security system all through voice commands to your TV. This level of integration could make managing a smart home more convenient and efficient.
