BURLINGTON, Mass.& LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Nuance
Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its voice
technologies are powering the new Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator
unveiled today at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Samsung's
Family Hub Refrigerator takes home appliances intelligence to the next
level with a voice user interface that lets people talk to the
refrigerator to access food and recipe content, apps and much more.
The Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator is a sophisticated multi-tasker that
organizes groceries and home tasks, connects families, and provides
entertainment – transforming the communal kitchen experience for
consumers in ways that will redefine how they view and use their
refrigerator. Samsung has integrated Nuance's embedded voice technology
that supports "far talking" capabilities to give consumers the ability
to launch and engage with the Samsung Family Hub's apps and services
from anywhere in the room. So even when across the kitchen, people can
speak to access recipes, create and edit shopping lists, access
reminders about groceries and food, and access and create voice memos.
"The rate of innovation in the Internet of Things is creating a world
where the everyday appliances we take for granted are becoming smarter
and useful in ways we never imagined – as evidenced by the Samsung
Family Hub. But as this intelligence evolves, it's critical to have an
interface that allows consumers to seamlessly tap into this intelligence
– and that is where the human intuition of voice shines in this
increasingly connected world," said Mike Thompson, executive vice
president and general manager, Nuance Mobile.
Nuance's voice and predictive text technologies can be found across
Samsung's consumer electronics experiences including the Samsung GALAXY
smartphone and tablet portfolio, the Samsung GALAXY Gear lineup and
Samsung Smart TVs.
Nuance's portfolio of voice, touch and natural language understanding
innovations are defining a new generation of intelligent systems and
personal assistant technologies for the Internet of Things. With Nuance
technology, people experience more humanized interactions with the
world's best mobile devices, cars, TVs, appliances, consumer electronics
and services from leading manufacturers, network operators and service
providers.
