Nuance Announces Enhanced NDEV Mobile Developer Program
Now with Improved Service Models, Speech Customization, and Expanded CrossPlatform Support
BURLINGTON, Mass. – May 1, 2014 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAN)
today announced that it has expanded its NDEV Mobile developer program to feature new
pricing and service models, new and enhanced voice capabilities, and greater support for more
platforms.
Since its inception in 2011, Nuance's NDEV Mobile developer program has empowered
developers to voice-enable their applications, allowing for more natural, intuitive, and interactive
app experiences. NDEV Mobile supports more than 20,000 developers, and powers successful
applications, including OnStar, Kraft, Ask.com, and others. Now, NDEV Mobile is expanding to
make it even easier for developers to incorporate the power of voice into a broader variety of
applications for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.
Key enhancements to NDEV Mobile include:

Greater Transaction Thresholds. NDEV Mobile now offers up to one million voice
transactions each month for Silver-level developers -- an increase of 400,000 transactions
per month -- and has eliminated per-device transaction limits. These upgrades allow
NDEV Mobile to support a wider variety of application categories, from music and
navigation to messaging, gaming, and fitness.

Custom Vocabularies. Silver and Gold-level developers can add custom words to create
their own customizable vocabularies, or dictionaries, enhancing the recognition of
atypical or branded terms.

Television Language Support. NDEV Mobile is expanding access to speech recognition
capabilities optimized for television use cases to all NDEV Mobile developers across
more languages. NDEV Mobile TV speech recognition support now includes coverage
for US English, UK English, Australian English, US Spanish, European Spanish, French,
German, and Italian.

Windows Phone 8 Support. To meet growing developer demand, NDEV Mobile now
supports the Dragon Mobile SDK on Windows Phone 8.
Additionally, NDEV Mobile is offering beta access to new voice features:

Grammar Recognition Mode. Expanding on the capabilities of Custom Vocabularies,
Grammar Recognition Mode allows developers to restrict recognition to a chosen
vocabulary, thereby enhancing support for targeted use cases such as application control,
Q&A, and more.

Results Mapping. Developers now have more flexibility to specify their voice
recognition output, supporting words, phrases, and terms with unique spellings.
"Offering greater access to an expanded range of voice capabilities will create new possibilities
for developers hoping to take their apps to the next level of intuitive and naturalized interaction,"
said Michael Thompson, executive vice president and general manager, Nuance, Mobile and
Consumer Division. "By broadening our platform support, developers can reach their audiences
on their own terms and in their own language."
Availability
The Dragon Mobile SDK is available for iOS 4 and higher, Android 2.3 and higher, Windows
Phone 7 and 8, and via an HTTP web services interface.
NDEV Mobile is part of Nuance's Cloud Services portfolio of voice innovations that continues to
define a new generation of intelligent systems and personal assistant technologies. With Nuance
technology, people experience more humanized interactions with the world's best phones,
tablets, computers, wearables, cars, TVs, apps and services from leading manufacturers and
