BURLINGTON, MA, August 13, 2009 — Nuance Communications, Inc., today announced that its predictive text and embedded mobile speech software were both named to VisionMobile’s 100 Million Club for the second half of 2008. The VisionMobile 100 Million Club recognizes software businesses that have succeeded in establishing a significant presence in the mobile handset market, specifically those whose products have been embedded on more than 100 million mobile phones.

Nuance’s T9 predictive text portfolio tops VisionMobile’s list, having shipped on more than 4.1 billion phones to date, making it the most pervasive third-party software application in the mobile market today. Nuance’s mobile solutions were recognized during the first half of 2008, and T9 in 2007 — a result of Nuance’s extensive relationships with major mobile handset manufacturers and carriers around the world.

“It’s inspiring each year to see new mobile market leaders emerge alongside mobile software veterans, bringing utility and ease of use to billions of mobile devices,” said Andreas Constantinou, research director of VisionMobile. “T9 and VSuite’s recurring placements on VisionMobile’s 100 Million Club demonstrate the pervasiveness of predictive text and voice-enabled command and control software — with Nuance’s predictive text products again topping our chart.”

Nuance’s T9 predictive text portfolio supports a variety of applications to make it faster and easier to send text messages, instant messages and email via any keypad format, including standard and touchscreen 12-key and QWERTY keypads. And because it’s adaptive and incredibly easy to use, T9 provides an increasingly personalized experience over time. Today, Nuance’s predictive text portfolio is available in more than 80 languages and dialects, including those that today’s emerging markets depend on such as Hinglish, Chinese PTI (Phrasal Text Input) and SBI (Sentence Based Input).

Nuance’s speaker independent VSuite has shipped on hundreds of millions of devices to date, and provides handset manufacturers with an amazing voice command and control framework that enables voice-based access to any of the core features and services on the device — taking usability and discoverability to a whole new level. Users can make calls, find contacts, launch a Web search, initiate a text message and even find games — all with simple and easy to use voice commands.

“We’re seeing more and more handset manufacturers combine the power of predictive text and voice-enabled input to give users simple and intuitive input options that deliver a fun yet productive mobile experience,” said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “With this in mind, Nuance is continuously innovating around multi-modal input solutions that empower users to easily search, discover and access the infinite variety of mobile applications and services offered by operators and manufacturers.”
