Revolutionary Service Lets Users Talk Instead of Type to Compose SMS, Instant Messages and Mobile Email Using the World’s Most Popular Speech Recognition Technology
March 27, 2007 (Press Release) --
CTIA Wireless 2007, ORLANDO, March 27, 2007 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today launched Nuance® Mobile Messaging™. Based on Dragon® NaturallySpeaking® 9, the world’s most popular desktop dictation software, Nuance Mobile Messaging enables users to compose messages on mobile devices up to six times faster than typing. Nuance will demonstrate the new technology in booth #4179 at the CTIA Wireless 2007 conference, being held this week in Orlando, Fla.
The ability to enter text simply by speaking eliminates the common frustrations associated with using small keypads. Nuance Mobile Messaging’s SpeakAnywhere™ functionality lets users speak naturally, instead of typing, wherever they are prompted by a blinking cursor to enter text. To input information by voice, users simply position the cursor where they would begin typing and begin speaking. When they are done speaking, a transcript instantly appears on the screen. Nuance Mobile Messaging leverages a client-server architecture to provide unrivaled accuracy that enables users to dictate at a rate of up to 160 words per minute.
“Nuance Mobile Messaging revolutionizes mobile messaging because it truly eliminates the frustrations we’ve all felt using the small keypads of mobile devices,” said Michael Thompson, vice president and general manager, telco, search and communications at Nuance. “This solution has the power to elevate mobile email into a communications platform on par with desktop email. Nuance’s broad portfolio of market-leading speech technologies, specifically in dictation, allows us to deliver this type of unique and highly compelling solution.”
Nuance Mobile Messaging is currently in trials with carriers worldwide. Nuance expects several carriers to make Nuance Mobile Messaging available to consumers before the end of the year.
“At Nokia our vision is to bring mobile email within every employee’s reach, in addition to the executive suite,” said Lior Nir, director of product marketing, Mobility Solutions, Enterprise Solutions, Nokia. “We think that new innovations like Nuance Mobile Messaging are a great way to expand the addressable market and bring additional capabilities to existing mobility offerings.”
“Nuance Mobile Messaging addresses one of the primary limitations of mobile messaging: the constraints of the small keypad,” said Ari Backholm, vice president, marketing and product management at mobile e-mail provider SEVEN. “As we invest in meeting the demands for mobile messaging services from new and expanding market segments, we view this unique speech recognition solution as a powerful growth driver. We are pleased to be working with Nuance on opportunities to deliver this revolutionary new service to our customers.”
