Business Summary
Nuance Communications develops, markets and supports a voice interface software platform that makes the information and services of enterprises, telecommunications networks and the Internet accessible from any telephone. The Company's software platform consists of software servers that run on industry-standard hardware and perform speech recognition, natural language understanding, text-to-speech synthesis and voice authentication. Speech recognition is used to recognize what a person says, natural language understanding derives the meaning of what is said, text-to-speech synthesis converts text, for example, from a database, an e-mail, a Web page or another document, into speech, and voice authentication verifies the identity of a speaker based on the unique qualities of that speaker's voice. The Company also offers a range of consulting, support and education services.
