Unleash the power of The Modern Voice for powerful customer service
Nuance market-leading voice solutions offer AI‑powered, enterprise‑grade speech technologies that enable your organisation to create interactive voice response (IVR) and speech solutions that feel almost human.
Start a conversation with your customers
The importance of speech technologies for customer service rises every day. There are new ways to use the power of voice to engage organisations—for questions, ordering products, checking delivery dates—all of which boost customer satisfaction. And people still love to talk directly to an agent to resolve important or complex issues. That’s why many leading organisations are working with Nuance to create powerful and effective interactive voice response and speech-based solutions that increase customer self-service, meet customer demands and drive operational efficiency. Are you ready to start talking?

Technologies
Accurate, intuitive and innovative. Naturally.
Nuance has offered innovative speech technologies for over 20 years, and we’re ready to help your business deliver better customer service.
Natural language‑based speech recognition
Advanced speech recognition, based on Nuance Recognizer and Natural Language Understanding, accurately captures intent when callers speak naturally in their own words, increasing self-service utilisation—and success.
Intuitive call steering
Call steering technologies direct callers to the right place the first time—improving use of your automated system and reducing need for live agents.
Powerful Text-to-Speech engine
Nuance Text‑to‑Speech technology promotes a rich, engaging and personalised user experience with high‑quality audio that can be tailored to any customer service application.
IVR to Digital
Sometimes a live agent isn't the most efficient way to resolve an issue. IVR to Digital helps move callers seamlessly to a digital experience.
IVR Tooling Suite
Nuance IVR Tooling Suite helps organisations use the same market‑leading tools as Nuance to design, develop, test, and maintain their IVR applications.
Analytics
