ScanSoft has announced that it has changed its name to Nuance Communications,
Inc., presenting a strong, clear and unified position for the company in the
markets it serves. The company believes its new, technology-independent name
better represents the comprehensive nature of its solutions. Nuance will continue
to leverage the recognition the ScanSoft name has earned in the market by using
it as the name for its family of imaging solutions.
"Our new name symbolizes an important point in the company’s evolution
as a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions that create compelling
customer experiences," said Paul Ricci, chairman and CEO of Nuance. "While
our name and branding have changed, the facets of the organization that have
made the company a trusted provider, partner and employer are unwavering. Nuance
will continue in its tradition of delivering the industry's premier speech
and imaging solutions for leading companies around the world through our global
network of partners."
