Portugal’s Media Holding Company NOS Integrates
Nuance’s Voice Recognition for Easier Content Discovery and
Search
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that
its Dragon TV voice technology will be deployed in NOS’s next
generation set top boxes and remote controls, along with
multiscreen services and applications for iOS and Android.
Available beginning June 2016, NOS’s subscribers will be able to
speak to their TV or remote control to search for programs, movies,
actors and actresses, favorite genres, sports and virtually any
other category of preferred content. The new product line will
offer an intuitive, quick way for viewers to find what they want to
watch, rather than navigating manually through program guides,
menus or interactive content. The new user interface will support
both basic command and control and search. For example, “Procurar
no Videoclube a Guerra dos Tronos” (Search video on demand for Game
of Thrones) or “Pesquisar atriz Brie Larson” (Search actress Brie
Larson).
Nuance’s Dragon TV voice platform gives service operators and
manufacturers the ability to easily integrate and deliver a
seamless user experience for smart and connected TVs that makes it
faster and easier to find shows, programs, and On-Demand content
just by speaking. Leveraging both embedded and cloud-based
technologies, Nuance’s technology can be deeply integrated right on
a remote, TV or set top box – fully customizable across more than
40 languages, and is extensible across the Internet of Things
ecosystem for a fully voice-enabled connected home experience.
“Voice provides a very natural, accessible way to communicate
with NOS’s service that provides consumers with seemingly endless
content. We’re very pleased to work with Nuance to deliver an
end-to-end solution for conversational entertainment discovery,
which also delivers a personalized entertainment experience through
innovative solutions and technology,” says Pedro Bandeira, NOS
Development Director.
“With half a billion connected TVs in use around the world today
– that are also connected to shows, games, music and other content,
simplifying the interface becomes vital. If you can’t find it, you
can’t experience it. By integrating voice technology directly to
the set top box and remote control, NOS can create a more powerful
user interface for users to find what they’re looking for in
seconds,” says Kenn Harper, vice president of devices and
ecosystem, Nuance Mobile.
Nuance also worked with Espial to integrate voice as part of the
NOS next generation hybrid IP Video service, announced today.
Nuance’s Dragon TV can be found across some of the most popular
connected TV and content experiences on the market.
