Speaking from the heart

When we asked customers to tell us their stories for the 2009 “I Speak Dragon!” Contest, we had no idea how powerful those stories would be. Their testimonials are proof of the transformation that happens when visionary people are empowered by the right technology.

Dragon’s cameo on Ellen

In 2010, Dragon Dictation was one of 50 apps selected for the iTunes Hall of Fame. In 2011, Ellen called out Dragon as a personal favorite, demonstrating its ability to understand even the stickiest tongue twisters.

Nuance was honored to enable safer, more carefree travel for Make‑A‑Wish® kids by connecting them to Nuance PowerShare, the largest pediatric image sharing network in America. Access to cloud‑based imaging frees families from worry and potential delays in care while on the move with Make‑A‑Wish.

ASR, meet TV

In 2015, Nuance automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology enabled the first major TV network provider to deliver a voice interface to customers through the remote control.
