Domino's Pizza Updates iOS App With Nuance-Powered Voice Ordering Feature
June 17, 2014
Domino's Pizza has just updated its official iOS app with a neat and new voice ordering feature.
Released in June 2011, the Domino's Pizza app, officially listed in the App Store as Domino's Pizza USA, was updated to version 2.0 last April with universal support for iPad along with a new design for iOS 7.
Now, the app has been updated to version 2.1 with the launch of voice ordering on its iPhone and iPod touch edition.
Touted as a first in both traditional retail and e-commerce, the Domino's app's new voice ordering feature allows you to easily place your orders by talking to the app's new voice ordering assistant using natural language:
Add your favorite items to your cart by telling the voice assistant exactly what you want. For example, you can say “I’d like a large pizza with extra cheese, pepperoni and onions” or “I’ll take a 14-piece order of Hot Wings”.Version 2.1 of the app also enables you to use your voice to browse menus and coupons. Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later, Domino's Pizza USA 2.1 is available now on the App Store for free. Note that the voice ordering feature is currently available in beta format for the app's iPhone and iPod touch edition. The feature is powered by the Nina Mobile intelligent virtual assistant developed by Nuance, the same voice software technology company behind Apple's Siri.
