Nuance Powers New Voice Feature in Kraft Foods’ iFood Assistant App
iFood Assistant 4.0, Powered by Nuance’s Dragon Voice Recognition, Allows
People to Search for Recipes, Cook Great Meals and Create Grocery Lists, Just
by Speaking
BURLINGTON, Mass. -- February 7, 2012 -- Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NUAN) today announced that its Dragon Mobile SDK is powering the new voice input
capabilities in Kraft Foods’ iFood Assistant 4.0 app for iPhone and iPod touch. iFood Assistant
is the first major consumer products and goods (CPG) app to leverage the power of Dragon
through Nuance’s NDEV Mobile developer program. NDEV Mobile lets developers quickly and
easily integrate Nuance’s proven cloud-based voice technology into virtually any application for
Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7.
The iFood Assistant app delivers simple, delicious food ideas, anytime and anywhere people go,
with how-to videos, smart 1-2-3 recipes, and a built-in shopping list that saves time. Now, the
app’s new unique voice input feature will enable people to get even more out of the app. Just by
speaking, users can easily create their shopping list, search for recipes and navigate recipe steps
with their voice.
“Since its launch in 2008, the iFood Assistant has become an indispensable food tool for recipes,
meal planning and shopping needs. It recently claimed the number seven spot in Apple’s App
Store Lifestyle among free apps,” said Ed Kaczmarek, Director of Innovation, Consumer
Experiences at Kraft Foods. “People are looking for tools that can keep up with their on-the-go
lifestyles. With the new voice features powered by Dragon, we’re making shopping and cooking
even more convenient, delicious and fun”.
“The iFood Assistant app is yet another example of how voice can truly differentiate any mobile
app experience,” said Matt Revis, vice president, handset business, Nuance Mobile. “The NDEV
Mobile developer program is incredibly flexible and easy to use, and the iFood Assistant
showcases that approach by offering a more personal, convenient and fun experience for
consumers with voice.”
Nuance’s Dragon Mobile SDK lets developers rapidly bring any voice-enabled app to market,
even if they have never implemented speech technology before. The Dragon Mobile SDK
powers the voice recognition and speech-to-text capabilities of some of the most popular apps on
the market, including Ask for iPhone, Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, Shopping List from
Recipes.com, SpeechTrans, AirYell and Yellow Pages by Avantar, OnStar RemoteLink,
iTranslate, Vocre, SayHi Translate, Bon’App, and more.
Availability
iFood Assistant 4.0 for iOS is currently available for free on the Apple App Store. To learn more
