Nuance Communications Inc. said it would ask a Santa Clara County judge today to block Yahoo from allowing the engineers to work on the technology it intended to market to Yahoo and other Internet companies. The California case concerns voice recognition technology that Nuance says was at least 75 percent complete before its vice president of research and development, Larry Heck, took a job at Santa Clara-based Yahoo.
