Bangalore: Nuance Communications today announced that it has been accepted as a member of the Symbian Foundation. This will enable Nuance to further develop and deploy innovative mobile solutions that enhance and simplify devices based on the Symbian operating system (OS).
Other members of the Symbian Foundation will be able to leverage Nuance's mobile voice and text input solutions to assist the creation of powerful and intuitive multi-modal interfaces that improve user experience, allow third party development and enhancement, and enable users to capitalize on the full potential of their devices.
The mobile software platform is based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP (Mobile Oriented Application Platform) user interface.
"The Symbian OS brought smartphones to the mainstream and powers among the most advanced devices on the global market," said Michael Thompson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nuance Mobile. "We expect that the adoption of Series 60 phones from Nokia, Samsung, LG and others is going to rapidly expand over the next few years. This proliferation of Symbian's open source platform provides Nuance with an exciting opportunity to bring our innovative speech, predictive text and handwriting solutions to an increasingly pervasive mobile platform base around the world."
Nuance's broad portfolio of speech and predictive text solutions are already available for many Symbian Series 60 devices around the world, including XT9, T9 Nav, and TALKS&ZOOMS.
