Nuance Voicemail to Text Powers Vonage Visual Voicemail

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that Vonage (NYSE: VG) has chosen Nuance to be their exclusive provider for voicemail-to-text transcription in support of the new Vonage World plan. Nuance’s Voicemail to Text platform converts Vonage customers’ voicemails into text messages or emails that are sent directly to their PC or mobile phones, allowing them to easily read voicemail messages wherever, however and whenever they want.

Whether in a meeting, on another call, or simply running errands, Vonage Visual Voicemail lets customers save time and get more done by quickly and conveniently reading voicemails from their computer or mobile phone. And with messages safely stored, they are easily searched, saved, deleted or forwarded. Customers no longer need to worry about writing down or losing information. If Vonage customers want to listen to their messages, they can still listen the traditional way or even access audio files attached to the emails.

"Vonage and Nuance have worked jointly over the past year-and-a-half to create an unsurpassed customer experience,” said Vonage CEO Marc Lefar. "Vonage Visual Voicemail allows us to meet the needs of our busy customers who prefer to read their voicemail messages via email or text message. Our customers can stay connected to friends, family and colleagues while on the go and will never miss an important message.”

Designed to address today’s dynamic communications demands, Nuance’s voicemail-to-text platform is carrier-optimized, and delivers innovative messaging capabilities to Vonage customers. Nuance’s platform leverages a deep research and technology base, including comprehensive healthcare transcription solutions, and Dragon NaturallySpeaking, the world’s leading speech recognition engine.

"We are delighted to partner with Vonage to bring this exciting product to market,” said Steve Chambers, President, Mobile-Enterprise and Consumer Services Division, Nuance.
