Supporting multiple languages the offering provides instant access to “easy-to-integrate prepackaged wrappers and widgets for rapid inclusion of voice recognition into their applications, all through a self-service website. Developers also have access to an on-line forum for additional support, a variety of code samples and full documentation.”
And all for free! Leveling the developer playing field and fostering innovation of speech enabled apps so that as Michael Thompson, SVP and GM of Nuance Mobile Division put it:
“If you can imagine it you can speech enable it”
