Nuance Powers T-Mobile Genius Search

Nuance Communications has revealed that its Dragon voice and natural language understanding technologies are behind the newly released Genius Search feature from T-Mobile that is available on the myTouch and myTouch Q smartphones.

The feature enables users to talk to their smartphone to access mobile content and information, allowing them to make dinner reservations, book flights, buy tickets and more through participating content providers, all via voice control.

“People expect instant gratification when it comes to accessing mobile content and information, and they want it from the content providers they know and trust,” says Michael Thompson, senior VP for Nuance Mobile. “T-Mobile’s Genius Search does just that – combines the power of Dragon and Nuance’s innovative natural language understanding to give instant, direct access to content from over 200 providers. Searching on a T-Mobile myTouch device just got even smarter.”
