“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, vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile Speech. “With our broad set of mobile speech solutions – from simple voice dialing to speech-based Web search – we’re helping Motorola and our joint carrier partners to deliver intelligent access to mobile services and applications, allowing mobile users to stay connected and productive.”

Nuance’s latest VSuite 3 framework showcases several capabilities to enhance its mobile and connected services offering, allowing for a more comprehensive user experience with speech. Some highlighted enhancements include:
