February 11, 2009 11:50 AM | Software | Technology | Comments (0)
Nuance Communications, Inc., a provider of speech solutions, today announced the availability of Nuance Voice Control (NVC) 2.0. NVC 2.0 is a customizable modular framework that allows operators and handset OEMs to speech enable any feature, application, or network service on any mobile device they bring to market, including feature phones. |
NVC 2.0 is the industry’s first mobile solution that includes speech recognition on the device, seamlessly integrated to speech recognition in the network. Further, NVC 2.0 is platform, operating system, and search engine agnostic, allowing operators to reach mass market consumers on a variety of devices quickly.
This innovative suite of speech capabilities includes:
- Voice activated dialing: “Call Mom’s mobile”
- Free-form Web search: “Find tickets to Red Sox game.”
- Text or email message addressing and dictation: “Send text to Kate Smith; Hey Kate, Let’s meet at the lobby bar in 20 minutes and then go to the concert.”
- Music search: “Get Love Story by Taylor Swift”
- Navigation: “Find Directions to 159 Newbury Street, Boston, Massachusetts”
- Games: “Go to BubbleSmile”
- Social media applications: “Go to Twitter”
- And any other feature or service operators and OEMs want to voice enable.
As VSuite ships on millions of devices today, operators and OEMs are able to quickly take advantage of NVC 2.0 and help drive new operator and OEM search revenues through greater discovery, access, and usage of search applications. Additionally, users engage NVC 2.0 directly from the idle screen at the push of a button, making it very easy to jump directly to an operator’s purchase page in their online music store or to search results with targeted advertising – generating additional revenue opportunities. Operators can also generate new revenues from bundled messaging packages, since NVC 2.0 allows users to dictate completely open-ended text or e-mail messages. This feature is based on Nuance’s state-of-the-art Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech recognition technology, used by millions of people worldwide.

The NVC 2.0 framework is available to mobile operators and OEMs today in more than 20 languages. For pricing and additional questions, please contact your Nuance Sales representative or visit www.nuance.com/nvc or www.press-and-speak.com.
