Nuance and KT to Develop Specialized Automotive Assistant for Korea
September 26 2018 - 8:00AM
Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), the pioneer and leader
in conversational AI innovations, today announced it will work with
KT Corporation, Korea’s leading automotive telematics provider,
bringing together two market leaders to develop a Dragon
Drive-powered automotive assistant built specifically for the
Korean market.
Through their work together, the two companies will leverage a
combination of Nuance’s automotive-grade solutions and KT’s AI and
content services to deliver an automotive assistant optimized for
use in Korea. Core Dragon Drive technologies like Just Talk, the
capability to invoke the automotive assistant without pushing a
button or using a wake-up word; voice biometrics; and embedded
speech recognition will make KT services like streaming music and
GiGA Genie accessible to drivers just by using their voice. As a
result of Nuance and KT’s collaboration, Korean drivers will enjoy
an innovative, personalized, AI-powered assistant that’s more
advanced than existing solutions in the Korean automotive market.
“As the car becomes increasingly connected and digital, drivers
are expecting and demanding an in-car assistant that’s
sophisticated and intelligently built for in-car use cases,” said
Stefan Ortmanns, executive vice president and general manager,
Nuance Automotive. “Together, Nuance and KT can create this
experience for drivers in Korea, enabling a simple, voice-powered
interface that delivers access to the content and services they
know and love.”
“Our collaboration with Nuance will fundamentally innovate the
way drivers communicate with the car,” said Kangrim Choi, vice
president and head of Connected Car business, KT. “KT’s AI
platform, GiGA Genie will connect drivers to a variety of
infotainment contents and IoT appliances at home, creating the
connected life experience.”
