Nuance Gives SayHi Translate App a Voice
Dragon Mobile SDK Powers SayHi’s Innovative Translation App in Seven
Languages via Nuance Mobile Developer Program
Burlington, Mass. – September 15, 2011 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN)
today announced that its trusted voice technology is powering the SayHi Translate app for iPad,
iPhone and iPod touch. SayHi Translate takes advantage of the Dragon Mobile SDK through the
Nuance Mobile Developer Program, providing developers with access to powerful speech
recognition including the successful Dragon Apps, as well as Nuance’s renowned text-to-speech
technology.
SayHi Translate leverages Nuance’s innovative voice recognition and text-to-speech to shatter
the language barrier for businesses and put a translator in the pocket of business professionals –
with real-time translations. SayHi Translate was designed specifically for professionals with a
secure platform catering to the interpretation needs of financial planners, entrepreneurs, doctors,
lawyers, educators, bankers, retailers, government agencies and many more. SayHi Translate
supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese.
“We have created an accurate and secure mobile interpretation app that provides businesses with
the most convenient way to communicate with the over 60 million potential non English
speaking US customers. To truly be an indispensable translator in your pocket, SayHi Translate
needs to integrate powerful voice technology that works – it’s just that simple. With the Dragon
Mobile SDK, we were able to quickly and easily integrate Nuance’s incredible voice capabilities,
getting this latest version of our innovative app into the market in just a few weeks,” said Lee
Bossio, CEO of SayHi Translate.
With the Dragon Mobile SDK, developers can rapidly bring any voice-enabled app to market,
even if they have never implemented speech technology before. The Nuance Mobile Developer
Program has helped integrate the voice recognition and text-to-speech capabilities of some of the
most popular apps on the market, including Siri, Price Check by Amazon, Ask for iPhone,
Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, OnStar RemoteLink, Aisle411, AirYell, Yellow Pages by
Avantar, Taskmind, EZ CM by EZ Connector, Bon App and others.
“Voice technology has the ability to transform the mobile app experience, giving apps like SayHi
Translate an entirely new and intuitive way to be engaged,” said Matt Revis, vice president,
product marketing and management, Nuance Mobile. “It’s very exciting to see so many highquality apps come out of the Nuance Mobile Developer Program across a broad range of
domains, from translation to e-commerce to navigation, and much more.”
