Nuance launches Nina to bring Siri to every app

Text and speech input experts, Nuance, today announced Nina – a Software Development Kit (SDK) for app developers that will bring Siri-like functionality to their apps. Nina not only brings the smart voice recognition and search functionality that Siri has but also does a biometric identification check by recognizing the user’s voice. By using Nina, Nuance claims apps won’t have to use conventional passwords to recognize users.
From the demo video put up by Nuance we can see Nina would work on both Android and iOS. Apple, which licenses the core technology behind Siri from Nuance, does not allow third party apps access to Siri. With Nina, Nuance won’t only enable app developers to get Siri-like functionality but also customize and brand it according to their needs.
Nina currently supports American, British and Australian English with support for more languages coming soon. App developers can get more information about the SDK for Nina from Nuance’s website.
