US Bank has announced it will offer voice control technology to FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature customers who use the FlexPerks mobile app. Employees of the bank are said to be testing the feature this week.
The technology called Nina Mobile, was designed by digital speech and imaging tools provider, Nuance, and is similar to the Siri iOS application. The software offers speech recognition, Text-to-Speech (TTS), voice biometrics, and Natural Language Understanding (NLU). Users will be able to interact with this virtual assistant using their voice to view account balances, search transactions and make payments.
