Burlington, Mass. – November 17, 2011 – Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that its NDEV Mobile developer program is expanding further across Europe into Denmark, Portugal and Poland, supporting speech-to-text and text-to-speech for Danish, European Portuguese and Polish. NDEV Mobile makes it easier than ever for developers to take advantage of Nuance’s renowned Dragon Mobile SDK to voice-enable iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 apps with the power of Dragon.
 
Nearly 6,000 developers have joined NDEV Mobile since its launch in January, as the program offers flexible service and pricing options that best meet their needs – NDEV Silver, NDEV Gold and NDEV Emerald. And with the addition of Danish, European Portuguese and Polish, the Dragon Mobile SDK now supports 20 languages for voice-to-text and more than 30 for text-to-speech – enabling developers across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia to bring to market voice-enabled for consumers globally.
 
“Developers all over the world are incredibly excited about voice-enabling their applications – but they demand a flexible, customizable platform that meets their unique needs,” said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “NDEV Mobile does just that, with a variety of languages, services and offerings – even free distribution capabilities – that allow developers to choose the mobile voice experience that works for them.”
