HIMSS 2007– NEW ORLEANS, February 27, 2007 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), a leading provider of speech and imaging solutions, today announced an agreement with StructuRad LLC, the innovator in low-cost radiology supporting solutions, to make StructuRad reporting tools, including macros and templates, available for Dictaphone® PowerScribe®, the leading speech recognition solution for radiology. This agreement enables PowerScribe users to create reports by voice even more quickly by leveraging StructuRad’s macro library, a quick and convenient way to set up the reporting user interface to speed up the reporting process.

StructuRad macros provide a library of normal and abnormal report templates derived from its proprietary radiology knowledge base. As part of this agreement with Nuance, the customized StructuRad macro library will be sold as an add-on product to PowerScribe. The macro library of report templates has been created to utilize PowerScribe’s voice edit features and will permit PowerScribe users to create reports by calling up a macro and making simple edits.

“Nuance is a leader in healthcare speech recognition solutions and combining StructuRad macros with PowerScribe will further enhance user productivity”, said Bill Tulloss, vice president, marketing and sales for StructuRad LLC. “We have developed this macro library specifically for PowerScribe so that users can quickly create reports from a rich set of templates without the rigor of having to create their own set of macros.”

With more than 900 customers worldwide, Dictaphone PowerScribe from Nuance saves healthcare organizations thousands of dollars per doctor each year in reduced or eliminated manual transcription costs. Through the combination of highly accurate speech recognition software and powerful physician self-editing tools, PowerScribe dramatically reduces report turnaround time in even the most demanding medical environments. By automating the clinical documentation process through its Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, Nuance aims to eliminate the high cost and long turnaround time associated with traditional manual transcription of patient notes, currently a $10 billion industry in North America alone.

“Today’s agreement with StructuRad reinforces our ongoing commitment to partnering with best-in-class companies that can help us provide the most advanced and efficient technologies to our customer base,” said Peter Durlach, senior vice president, marketing and product strategy, Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, Nuance. “Radiology professionals will greatly benefit from the combined power of StructuRad macros and PowerScribe’s highly efficient radiology reporting solution.”

Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions, a division of Nuance, is located in HIMSS booth # 4120.
