E-mail is the killer app on the internet, and it’s just beginning to permeate the mobile device environment. SMS messaging is already exploding with over 1 trillion SMS messages sent in 2006. But creating those messages is increasingly challenging. That’s where the power of speech recognition and advanced text input from Nuance can bring out the full power of mobile messaging.

With its advanced text input solutions (T9 text input and XT9 smart input), Nuance provides complementary input modalities that bypasses the basic limitations of the phone keypad and allow simplified entry of text through single tap on the phone keyboard. T9 is shipped in over 2 billion devices and used on a regular basis by over 1 billion people.

With speech recognition, you can create SMS, email and instant messages on a mobile device, simply by speaking, and have your speech transcribed instantly. To see more, learn about The Amazing Race, where Nuance technology bested the world’s fastest text messager!

However, that’s only half the equation. Nuance makes messaging truly powerful by coupling its dictation software with its RealSpeak Mobile text to speech (TTS) engine, enabling users to message by simply speaking it or listening to it.
