HIMSS 2008, ORLANDO, Fla., February 25, 2008 — Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading supplier of speech and imaging solutions, today announced that MediVoice, LLC has selected Nuance® Voice Control to provide speech-driven access to a broad range of mobile healthcare applications. As part of the preferred partnership agreement, Nuance Voice Control Healthcare Edition will power a new e-prescription service that enables physicians to create and send an electronic prescription from a broad range of mobile devices using only their voice. Nuance and MediVoice will demonstrate the new technology in booth #5846 at the HIMSS 2008 conference, being held this week in Orlando, Fla.

MediVoice offers a complete enterprise mobility solution that places all the tools healthcare workers need at the point of care. The voice-activated e-prescriber platform gives MediVoice customers voice access to electronic medical records. Powered by speech solutions from Nuance, the MediVoice patent pending system offers an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use user interface that allows healthcare workers to quickly access pertinent patient information from multiple systems (e.g., EMR, EHR and hospital information systems) and, if appropriate, voice activate electronic prescriptions. This speech-enabled system is available on almost any mobile device offered by any carrier or WiFi network and offers the highest accuracy with little or no training.

Anthony Milone, managing director, MediVoice, said: “The benefits of an e-prescription system are clear, but solution usability has been a significant limiting factor to widespread adoption.”

Ed Zecchini, chief technology officer, MediVoice, added: “Because existing systems require extensive training, many healthcare workers simply don’t use them. The accuracy and ease of use delivered by speech solutions from Nuance are critical components of our next-generation e-prescription system. With Nuance Voice Control we’ve been able to create an easy-to-use application that should be very familiar to most doctors.”

The system’s commands are simple and spoken in a natural way. Sample voice commands include the following:

“Show my patients” or “Show my rounds” to bring up a list of the provider’s current patients
“Show medication for John Doe” or “Show labs for John Doe” to show a patient’s current medication or labs
“Write a Script for John Doe; Medication: Lipitor; Send to CVS on Main Street” to write an e-Rx. The healthcare provider also has the option to say, “Write a Script for John Doe,” and use the entry mechanism on the device to finish the e-Rx. A visual representation for verification is always presented before processing an order.

“Incorporating a mobility solution that is easy to use and navigate allows a hospital to address many of the challenges associated with electronic health record strategies,” said Steve Chambers, president, mobile and consumer services division, Nuance. “By delivering a speech-enabled solution, MediVoice offers versatile mobile applications that are easy to use and navigate with simple voice commands.”
