Nov. 6, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its innovative T9 Nav mobile search and discovery application is available on the Nokia Ovi Store for Series 60 third edition devices. T9 Nav is a must-have application for those who want to get the most out of their mobile device, as it enables users to find and access any application or service on- or off-device.

T9 Nav is based on Nuance’s pervasive and trusted T9 predictive text technology to simplify navigation and discovery of a variety of applications, content and information. By typing with just one key press per letter from the idle screen, consumers are able to navigate around complex menu structures to easily find contacts, games, stored songs, website bookmarks – any feature or service available on the device or on the operator’s network. And with its availability on the Nokia Ovi Store, Nokia users can download T9 Nav faster and easier.

“T9 Nav is perfect complement to all of the amazing applications available on the Nokia Ovi Store today, allowing users to quickly and easily access anything they’ve recently downloaded, and any feature already available on the device,” said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “T9 Nav is a must-have application for those looking to get the most out of their device, as it virtually eliminates the various menus and clicks traditionally required to access their favorite games and songs, and even those features that are critical to daily mobile productivity, like their calendar, task lists, and more.”

With T9 Nav, users can simply press 4 2 6 (g a m) to access games; 3 2 2 (f a c) to quickly access their mobile Facebook account; or, 7 4 4 (r i h) to access songs by Rihanna.

T9 Nav enables mobile users to cut through the clutter and find the applications and services they need, decreasing task completion time by up to 67 percent to enhance overall mobile productivity and convenience. It also adapts to the user’s behavior to ensure delivery of relevant and accurate results. T9 Nav is part of Nuance’s broader mobile portfolio that features the world’s most pervasive speech and text input solutions that are changing the way consumers interact with their mobile phones to send text messages and email, place calls, and access the mobile Web for information, directions, music and more.
