Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that
Roku Inc. has integrated Dragon TV voice recognition into the voice
search experience on the Roku 3 streaming player and the Roku
mobile app for iOS and Android devices. As a result, consumers
simply press a button on the enhanced remote control or within the
Roku app, and speak to search for movies and TV shows.
Roku offers the biggest streaming channels lineup in the U.S.
and access to more than 2,000 channels and 250,000 movies and TV
episodes. With its comprehensive and unbiased search feature, Roku
helps people find what to watch across top streaming channels.
Consumers can look for actors and directors and view filmographies
as well as search for movies and TV episodes and discover
availability and pricing. Now with voice search, consumers with a
Roku 3 streaming player can simply say “Orange is the new Black” to
quickly find the hit series, “Interstellar” to watch the movie or
“Gaiam” to enjoy the fitness channel.
“Millions of people use Roku streaming players every day. With
the widest selection of streaming channels available and a
comprehensive and unbiased search, it’s very easy for consumers to
find the entertainment they want to watch,” said Scott de Haas,
senior vice president of product engineering and operations at

technology to enable our customers to use their voice, searching
for movies and TV shows is faster and easier than ever before.”
