Nuance Mobile Flagship VSuite Application Ships on Palm Centro from AT&T

Speech Interface Offers Palm Users Fast, Easy, One-Step Access to Mobile Applications and Content

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 26, 2008 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that the Nuance Mobile flagship VSuite application is shipping on the Palm® Centro™ smartphone from AT&T. Palm, Inc., a global innovator of mobile devices including Palm Treo™ and Centro smartphones, has expanded its use of Nuance Mobile speech solutions to deliver hands-free voice control capabilities to its broad portfolio of mobile devices. Nuance will demonstrate the benefits of speech-enabled solutions for Palm devices at the Nuance booth (Booth 5717) at the CTIA 2008 conference, being held next week in Las Vegas, Nev.

Palm has selected Nuance® VSuite™ to enable hands-free, one-step access to mobile applications and content. VSuite offers a speech-based user interface for hands-free, eyes-free access to smartphone features. In addition to being included on the Centro from AT&T, VSuite is provided on the Treo 755p from Verizon Wireless. VSuite is also supported on all Palm OS® based Palm Treo smartphones.

“With hands-free legislation limiting the use of mobile phones while driving, mobile users increasingly need hands-free, eyes-free access to features on their handsets,” said Phil McClendon, product line manager, consumer smartphones, for Palm, Inc. “We’re committed to offering hands-free solutions for a safe user experience, especially while driving. By continuing to work with Nuance to equip our devices with the latest speech technology capabilities, we’ve been able to enhance the accessibility and utility of our devices for users on the go.”

Nuance also offers Nuance Voice Control, a subscription-based service that allows Palm users to easily connect to the mobile web using only their voice. Nuance Voice Control users can dictate and send email or text messages, create calendar entries, or search the Web for business listings, news, weather, stock quotes, sport scores and more.

“As demonstrated by the increased demand from carriers requesting speech capabilities in their device specifications, innovative speech solutions now play a significant role in the mobile phone user experience,” said Michael Thompson, general manager, mobile search, communications and handsets, Nuance. “With our broad set of mobile speech solutions – from simple voice dialing to speech-based Web search – we’re helping Palm deliver intelligent access to mobile services and applications, allowing mobile users to stay connected and productive.”

VSuite, which has shipped on over 200 million handsets to date, is powered by natural, one-step commands and works immediately with no training required by Palm users. Sample commands include:

• Name Dialing: dial any name from the phone’s contact list (e.g., “Call John Smith Mobile”)



• Digit Dialing: dial a phone number (e.g. “Call 781 970 5200”)



• Message Addressing: address text, picture and video messages (e.g., “Send Text to John Smith Mobile”)



• Contact Lookup: look up the contact details for any name in your contact list (e.g., “Lookup John Smith”)



• Voice-activated application launch: single command access to any application or menu item on the phone (e.g., “Open Calendar”)
