text-to-speech, the Nuance Mobile Speech Platform dramatically improves
the usability of BREW applications, and specifically offers pre-built
components for the following:
-
Nuance Local Search – search business
names and categories, residential listings, weather, dining and
entertainment, movies, etc.

“The Nuance Mobile Speech Platform lets the
BREW community leverage a powerful but simple interface: the human voice,”
said Michael Thompson, vice president and general manager of mobile
speech at Nuance. “Intuitive for every user,
speech makes for a richer, more satisfying mobile experience. BREW
developers, handset vendors and wireless carriers all benefit, because
easy-to-use applications and features drive additional revenue and
eliminate the frustration of navigating through complex menu hierarchies
with small keypads.”
