Nuance Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search Apps Now Available in Norway and Sweden

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search apps for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad are continuing their rapid global expansion with their Scandinavian debut in Norway and Sweden, supporting Norwegian and Swedish. The Dragon Apps have been downloaded by tens of millions around the world because of their ability to let people quickly and easily speak text for SMS messages, emails, social media updates, mobile Web searches and more, up to five times faster than typing.

The launch in Norway and Sweden also marks an important milestone for the Dragon Apps with availability in 20 countries worldwide since coming to market in December 2009. Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search support 17 languages across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, with multilingual capabilities that allow all Dragon Apps users to easily switch between supported languages as they become available.

Dragon Dictation is iOS-4 compatible and features a pop-up toolbar with app icons for easy access to email, SMS, Facebook or Twitter status updates, or the clipboard. Dragon Dictation also includes a convenient Auto Save function that retains dictated text when the user is interrupted by an incoming phone call.

Dragon Search for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is also now available on the App Store, allowing users to simply speak any search query to quickly and easily find information and answers on the mobile Web. Dragon Search is the only app to feature Nuance’s unique and innovative Dragon Search Carousel, which delivers faster, smarter search results within seconds across multiple channels all at once, including Google or Yahoo!, iTunes, Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube.

“Scandinavians have long experienced the power of Nuance’s voice capabilities through customer service applications, healthcare workflow solutions, and in-car and navigation systems. So it’s very exciting that today we can deliver the power of Dragon right to their iOS devices,” said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “Norwegian and Swedish are among the many languages we’ve released in just the last year in 20 countries, with additional languages and availability on their way for Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.”

Both Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search are available for free from the Norwegian Apple App Store, as well as on the Swedish Apple App Store Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search.
