Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its Dragon
Voicemail to Text service is included in the Visual Voicemail offering
from T-Mobile USA Inc. Dragon transcribes voice messages into text,
which are then delivered directly to mobile phones via text message or
to the user’s T-Mobile® Visual Voicemail inbox. This allows
T-Mobile customers to read their voicemails in whatever order they
choose instead of having to listen to them one at a time.
Nuance’s Dragon Voicemail to Text service features the same
industry-leading voice recognition technology at the heart of the
renowned Dragon Mobile apps and Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Replying to
voicemails is easy and convenient for T-Mobile customers, with the
ability to respond via text message virtually anytime, anywhere.
Further, messages can be stored or forwarded, and consumers always have
the ability to listen to their audio voicemails in any order they choose.
“Voicemail to Text offers a convenient way to handle voice messages and
is consistent with T-Mobile’s vision to provide our customers more
service options to easily stay connected,” said Alex Samano, director
and GM of communication services, T-Mobile USA. “Our partnership with
Nuance is not only powering Voicemail to Text, it will also drive future
innovations to enrich communications virtually wherever our customers
are.”
“We all have a love-hate relationship with voicemail – we need to stay
connected, but hate taking the time to listen to and manage voice
messages on the go,” said John Pollard, vice president and general
manager, voice-to-text services, Nuance Mobile. “In an environment where
consumers expect to receive messages with the same instant gratification
of text messaging and email, Dragon Voicemail to Text gives
forward-thinking carriers like T-Mobile the ability to deliver essential
voice services that are state-of-the-art and perfectly in tune with
subscribers’ demands.”
