During CES in Las Vegas this week, Dacor announced that they will be adding voice activation to their phone and tablet app for the Discovery oven line. According to cnet, the 50-year-old company will get you talking to your Discovery iQ Dual-Fuel Ranges by this spring thanks to the IQ Remote app that will be compatible with any smart phone or tablet. You'll be able to turn the oven on and off, change the heat settings and timers, and switch the oven light on by just telling the app to do so.
The system will work with the already functioning IQ Cooking app, which gives you cool recipe ideas and offers cooking assistance. Although they will be available as two separate apps, there's a good chance that Dacor will combine them into one to make life a little easier on chefs who don't want to toggle between two programs. The ovens will reportedly range from $9,000 for the 38-inch model to $12,000 for the 48-inch.
