Nuance Communications, Inc. announced that its Dragon TV platform now includes voice biometrics for TVs, set-top boxes and second screen applications, creating an even more personalized TV experience through voice. Upon hearing a person's unique voice, Dragon TV not only understands what is being said, but authenticates who is saying it, and from there enables personalized content for different members of a household. As a result, individuals can have immediate access to their own preferred channels and content, customized home screens and social media networks.

Voice biometrics as part of the Dragon TV experience transforms the lean-back experience of watching television in user living room - adding personalized content and even parental controls. So now when a user says their selected wake-up phrase such as "Hello, TV!," their voice is recognized and authenticated for personalized channel menus, favorite movies and content, or other user-specific preferences. And because it is combined with Dragon TV's voice and natural language understanding, changing channels and finding movies and shows is exceedingly fast and convenient.

Nuance's voice biometrics technology uses a person's unique voiceprint for effortless authentication to create a more engaging and more personalized consumer experience.
