HIMSS 2007 – NEW ORLEANS, February 26, 2007 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, is demonstrating its suite of innovative mobile dictation and voice control solutions and technologies for healthcare organizations at the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) show in New Orleans February 25th – March 1st.

“Nuance has long been a leader in mobile voice applications and we are experiencing growing momentum as we bring that expertise to bear on the healthcare market” said Peter Durlach, senior vice president, marketing and product strategy, Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, Nuance. “Our mobile strategy will be focused on bringing our industry leading mobile speech technologies to market in combination with our key healthcare partners that provide clinical information, communication and information retrieval solutions and devices to the healthcare industry.”

Dictaphone GoMD 3.6 Mobile Dictation

The Company’s Dictaphone division will be demonstrating GoMD™ v3.6, the latest version of its traditional mobile dictation solution. Using GoMD, a physician can select a patient from a list, dictate a report, and GoMD will automatically deliver it wirelessly to the Dictaphone Enterprise Express documentation system for processing. Transcribed reports can also be viewed and electronically signed using GoMD. GoMD 3.6 includes a number of new enhancements, including support for the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 operating system running on the iPAQ 2490 and 2790 PDAs.

“We are thrilled with the increased efficiency and mobility that we have been able to achieve with Dictaphone GoMD” said Jeff Duclos, director of information systems, St. Cloud Orthopedics. “Our physicians are able to quickly download daily patient lists onto their PDA in the morning, and move more efficiently from case to case, without having to constantly return to their office to dictate their notes and check their schedule. With GoMD and an iPAQ, our physicians can easily dictate notes for each patient directly into their PDA, right at the point of care. Not only does this allow our physicians to see more patients more efficiently, but it gives them the freedom to capture their patients from anywhere in the building – an exam room, lab, office, or nurse’s station.”

Nuance Voice Control Healthcare Edition

Nuance will also be demonstrating Nuance® Voice Control Healthcare Edition which allows healthcare providers to instantly access clinical information from their existing healthcare information systems via a Sprint handheld device using simple voice commands. The user simply dictates an information request, and the resulting data is conveniently displayed on the smartphone screen, eliminating the need to locate a computer terminal in the hospital or healthcare facility to obtain pertinent patient information. For providers on the move, this technology represents a dramatic productivity boost and hence can have a meaningful impact on the quality of patient care. MEDITECH Inc., a leader in enterprise Healthcare IT systems, will be demonstrating Voice Control Healthcare Edition in the Dictaphone booth (Booth #4120) and also in the MEDITECH booth (Booth #310).

Nuance Mobile Dictation Healthcare Edition

The Company will also be demonstrating Nuance® Mobile Dictation Healthcare Edition, a breakthrough technology that delivers high accuracy, real-time transcription to mobile phones based on the technology behind Dragon® NaturallySpeaking® 9 Medical Edition. This on-demand service brings to the mobile phone speech recognition options that until now have been limited to desktop PC solutions. Using this technology, a physician will be able to dictate narrative clinical notes on a smart phone and have them instantly transcribed, all while doing her rounds.

Vocera and Dictaphone Enterprise Express

Vocera® Communications and Dictaphone are teaming up to provide integrated traditional dictation capabilities on the Vocera Communications Badge for physicians and nurses. Vocera customers will be able to integrate with the Dictaphone Enterprise Express documentation system to document patient encounters. Provider dictations will be automatically routed through the Dictaphone system for automatic speech recognition, transcription and document distribution.

At HIMSS, Nuance and its Dictaphone division will be advancing discussions with its healthcare information technology partners to bring these emerging technologies and solutions to their customers. Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, a division of Nuance, is located in HIMSS booth #4120.
