Nuance Communications today announced a new version of its PaperPort Notes app for the Apple iPad. Nuance says for the first time, it lets people create notes simply by speaking.
PaperPort Notes is powered by Nuance’s Dragon voice recognition via the cloud-based Dragon Mobile software developers kit (SDK), which is behind a growing number of voice-enabled mobile and consumer apps.
The app supports accessing and saving documents from cloud services including Google Docs, Box.net, DropBox and PaperPort Anywhere. Users can also annotate and highlight documents, combine pages of documents from the cloud and the web, and capture documents using the built-in camera on the Apple iPad. You can see spoken words quickly returned as text directly within PaperPort Notes. It saves documents as industry standard PDF, making it easy to share notes with others.
Nuance PaperPort Notes is a free download in the Apple App Store.
The Nuance Dragon Go! app is now available for Android on the Android Market. It gives consumers direct access to over 200 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.
The Nuance Dragon TV app lets you tell your television what you want to watch, and deliver it. The software lets users find content by speaking channel numbers, station names, show and movie names. Designed to be completely intuitive, you can say things like “Find movies with Leonardo diCaprio,” or “What’s on Bravo at 9 p.m. tonight?” and the software accomplishes the task for you. At the moment, it’s only out for device OEMs, operators and developers, at www.nuancemobilelife.com.
It may be reason enough to get a phone or tablet with HDMI output.
