Nuance Communications today announced the availability of a new version of Dragon Mobile for the Android platform. The voice-activated mobile digital assistant now includes three new features. The first includes location sharing and friend finding, which gives users the option to share their location or find their friends. The app also adds an intelligent conference call assist feature that sees calendar appointments involving a phone call, reminds the device owner about the call, and can be set to dial in automatically when the appointment arrives. Last, the app adds completely hands-free messaging. The app can be used to dictate and send text messages, and can now also read incoming text messages aloud with the ability to respond. Nuance is offering a free beta of Dragon Mobile to devices running Android 2.3 and up. The beta can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
