Nuance’s Dragon Go! Now Available for Android
Revolutionary Natural Language App Changes the Way Consumers Discover and
Experience Content
Las Vegas and Burlington, Mass. – January 10, 2012 – Nuance Communications, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its revolutionary Dragon Go! app is now available for
Android on the Android Market. Dragon Go! gives consumers direct access to over 200 of the
most trusted and reliable destinations for mobile content simply by using their voice – including
AccuWeather, Ask.com, Bing, Dictionary.com, ESPN, Facebook, Fandango, Last.fm,
LiveNation, Milo.com, OpenTable, Pandora ® internet radio, Rotten Tomatoes, Spotify, Twitter,
Wikipedia, Wolfram|Alpha, Yelp, YouTube, Yahoo! and many others.
Dragon Go! combines Nuance’s Dragon voice recognition and natural language understanding
with artificial intelligence technology to dramatically simplify the mobile content experience –
start to finish. Dragon Go! not only hears what you say, but actually understands what you mean.
It immediately returns the most relevant content front and center on the Dragon Carousel, with
additional relevant content from complementary providers. Further, Dragon Go!’s unique, open
design preserves the content partners’ original look and feel.
“Legacy search applications are fading in mobile. Consumers want immediate and direct access
to content – not scrolling, hunting or pecking through search links or filtered content,” said
Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “Dragon Go!
gives people the freedom to speak openly, and magically get the content they want.”
Dragon Go! features the largest direct-access content ecosystem in mobile today. Consumers can
say virtually anything and immediately jump to relevant destinations. For example:
- “What’s the best Thai food near me,” and be taken to the Yelp tab for local reviews, or flip over
to the Phone tab to quickly call to find out about any specials on the menu that evening.
- “Reservations for two at Slanted Door in San Francisco,” to be taken directly to OpenTable to
book a table for dinner, or scroll over to the Maps tab to find out how to get there from where
you are now.
- “Show times for ‘Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ to get to Fandango see show times, buy tickets,
read fan reviews and see trailers, and then flick over to Twitter to see what other people are
saying about the movie.
- “Play ‘Paradise’ by Coldplay” to play and listen to the song on Spotify if you’re a mobile
Premium user or, on your Coldplay station on Pandora. Users can also pull up the video on the
Media tab.
- “What is the formula for sulfur dioxide?” to compute the answer using Wolfram|Alpha's vast
knowledge in thousands of subject areas.
- “Who was the most popular celebrity of 2011?” and get the answer from Ask.com.
“Dragon Go! has been incredibly successful since its launch on iOS in July, winning several
awards and holding a 4.5 star rating among users. We’re delivering fast, direct and open access
to content for consumers – it’s just a better way to experience the mobile web,” said Vlad
Sejnoha, chief technology officer, Nuance. “Dragon Go! eliminates the intermediate steps
typically required to reach desired web or app destinations. It’s only going to get better as we
continue to expand partnerships and bring new features and more content tailored for Android
consumers.”
Dragon Go! is available for free on the Android Market in the US in U.S. English.
Dragon Go! is part of the Dragon Mobile Apps family, which includes the FlexT9 application for
Android, Swype, Dragon Dictation and original Dragon Search apps for iOS. To learn more
