Nuance Speaks Up for Speech Recognition with Live Demonstrations of Dragon NaturallySpeaking v9.


World's Leading Speech Recognition Solution Delivers Up to 99% Accuracy; Live Demonstrations, Software Trials Show State-of-the-Art Following Microsoft Vista See Windows Vista.  Demo
Overview: Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) recent demonstration of
            its speech recognition capabilities in Windows Vista has
            generated significant coverage in the media and
            blog-sphere, leaving many observers with the impression
            that speech recognition is not "ready for prime-time" - to
            say the least.

            Those familiar with the state-of-the art and with Nuance
            Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUAN), a leading provider of
            speech and imaging solutions, recognize that Dragon
            NaturallySpeaking from Nuance already delivers amazing
            levels of accuracy in a wide range of environments,
            including emergency rooms, noisy offices and even
            auditoriums.

            While Nuance cannot speak for the quality of the speech
            recognition that might eventually be delivered with
            Microsoft Vista, Nuance does not want the unflattering
            Microsoft demo to speak for state-of-the-art of speech
            recognition as a whole.

            Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking today is used by
            millions of people to transform the way that they use
            their PCs. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9, unveiled to broad
            acclaim on July 18, 2006, delivers what matters most in
            speech recognition - failsafe accuracy with levels up to
            99% - and eliminates the need to voice-train the product
            and still deliver extremely high levels of performance.

   Details: Nuance executives and technology experts are
            available to demonstrate Dragon NaturallySpeaking and to
            provide expert commentary on the state-of-the-art of
            speech recognition. In addition, trial software can be
            made available to interested parties upon request. Users
            of Dragon NaturallySpeaking - including doctors, those
            with disabilities and office professionals - can also be
            made available.

            The latest release of Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes from
            the world's expert in speech recognition - Nuance. Nuance
            speech technology touches millions of people every day as
            they use speech recognition to make requests of directory
            assistant services, interact with their bank or airline
            reservation system by voice, dial by voice from their cell
            phone, or interact with their car's navigation and
            environmental systems.
