Earlier today I had also posted about 2 other acquisitions that have been 
incorporated into the Nuance group of companies.

Nuance seems to be all over the news today in healthcare and beyond. Speech recognition has already been present in radiology and now one more new platform comes into being. Back in March of 2009, RadWhere was announced and the new PowerScribe 360 works with it and the other current radiology speech recognition technologies.

From the website:
PowerScribe 360 is architected as a next-generation platform to meet future radiology business needs that go beyond speech-driven reporting and 
documentation. PowerScribe 360 acts as the central platform for all of the products in Nuance Healthcare’s Closed-Loop Suite of Radiology solutions: clinical decision support, speech-driven radiology reporting, critical test result management (CTRM) and communications, and business intelligence and outcomes analysis.
In addition, PowerScribe 360 provides:
- Expandable and scalable solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s radiology business requirements
- True multi-site, multi-tenant architecture with a lightweight, browser-based portal for administrators, radiologists, technologists and referring clinicians
- Web Services API that provides an open platform for custom application development in order to better integrate with the IT infrastructure”
If Nuance hasn’t created it, it almost seems like they bought it.

Need a price check, well in the news today, you can use voice Search to get a price check from Amazon.
A short while back Nuance acquired ShapeWriter and nobody seemed to know what they were doing here. It turns out today that Nuance T9 is a virtual keypad
that is coming along with the Samsung Wave II in Europe and Asia so they have now moved from being strictly speech input to touch for phones. Below is the original post from a 
few months ago.

Back in February Nuance bought MacSpeech, and no wonder the rumors were flying about Apple buying Nuance last week.

Of course they still have Dragon Naturally Speaking and Paper Port which one can still buy out of the box too. BD
