- Speech is Changing the Way Consumers Engage with their Mobile Universe

IFA — At IFA in Berlin, Nuance will be onsite at the Showstoppers Event showcasing how mobile speech innovations are changing the way consumers engage their phones, tablets, cars and other consumer electronics - and essentially, their mobile universe.

Consumers around the world experience the power of speech technology every day - on their phones, behind the wheel, doing business, customer care, healthcare solutions, and so much more.  OEMs, carriers and businesses are integrating speech technology and services as not only a value-add, but as a key consumer experience differentiator.  In fact, Nuance’s speech technology ships on millions of phones every year, the popular Dragon Mobile Apps for iOS and Android have been downloaded by tens of millions of consumers around the world, and nearly 50 million automobiles and 50 million personal navigation devices on the road today are powered by Nuance.

“Further, mobile speech technology has experienced an exciting and rapid evolution in recent years, where consumers can speak text for emails, text messages and status updates, and see it appear in seconds with apps like Dragon Dictation, or speak an entire address into their navigation system in one single utterance,” says Arnd Weil, VP and General Manager of Nuance Automotive and Consumer Electronics. “Voice is proving to be an incredibly intuitive and convenient interface for quickly accessing information and content - whether on the go or behind the wheel,” he adds.
