Nuance?s Dragon ID Lets You Unlock Your Smartphone Or Tablet By Talking To It

Speech recognition giant Nuance has made their share of plays in the mobile space before -- they acquired Vlingo last year and pushed out their Dragon Go! voice command app to both iOS and Android. Their latest mobile endeavor, Dragon ID, is a little different -- its main draw is that it's capable of recognizing distinct voices and using them to authenticate users and unlock devices. It turns out that Dragon ID is quite the polyglot too, as the service is capable of recognizing voice input in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Simply saying "Hello Dragon" in any of those languages unlocks the phone and allows users to dive into their content.
